"You Can Hold People Accountable For Abusive Behavior, And You Should"

Tonya Baña is a seasoned employment attorney with more than a dozen years experience handling employment-related legal matters.  A Baltimore native and proud graduate of Woodlawn High School in Baltimore County, Tonya received her bachelor’s degree from Harvard and her law degree from Stanford.  After spending nearly a decade counseling and defending employers at two of the most well respected employment groups in the Baltimore-Washington area, Tonya started her own law practice to provide the same high-quality legal representation to individuals who have been victims of workplace discrimination or other civil rights violations.

Tonya Baña is an attorney with more than a dozen years of experience
handling complex labor and employment matters. She primarily represents
individual clients in a broad range of situations involving allegations of
harassment, discrimination, retaliation and wrongful discharge, contract
issues, including severance pay negotiations, and other employment-related
disputes.

Tonya also advises companies and non-profit organizations on all aspects
of labor and employment law, including compliance with various federal and
state laws, managing difficult employees and litigation avoidance. She
has given presentations and trainings on numerous employment-related
topics and conducted many internal investigations into employee
allegations of harassment, discrimination and retaliation.

In this episode: Tonya clarifies what constitutes as sexual harassment (as recognized actionable by the law) in personal relationships, workplace and otherwise, what steps to take if you have been a victim of sexual harassment, how to avoid behavior that could be deemed as sexual harassment, your rights as an employee, and things to consider before making complaints or accusations. 

With the #MeToo movement being fresh on everyone's mind, this conversation was very eye opening and informative and I highly recommend everyone - not just women- take a listen.
