22_Circumstances:
I was assigned to work at Tucson Medical Center (TMC) by Intermountain Staffing Resources (2900 East Broadway BLVD. Suite 182, Tucson, AZ 85716 phone (520) 318-9322, fax (520) 318-9424, [email protected], Staffing Manager Theresa Caladillas) for temporary work in the cafeteria, in this case stacking dishes that had been through a steam cleaner.
A female employee within my first hour of work walked up to me while I was standing in front of the utensil steam cleaner and clearly and deliberately walked up next to me and bumped me strongly with her hips, to which I immediately moved away.
It was clear from the employee's demeaner that she was disgruntled variously or concerned from cutting her finger just before I came on shift, which she showed to the shift manager Phillys when I reported for work my fist day, Thursday, March 6. (She was told to put a bandaid on the bleeding cut and get back to work.
She seemed to be either, drunk, otherwise intoxicated or on medication, and would not respond to any question but gave answers that were not asked for, corrected herself, and gave the answers again.
She later came directly behind me and reached through my arms to move dishes in front of me, continuously making contact with my hips, sides and arms, also a not safe procedure regarding high temperature cleaning and conveyor equipment, to which I loudly and clearly and politely complained to no response. I then left my shift to complain to Phillys regarding what I consider to be clear sexual harassment, terminating my own employment for the day. A male Hispanic employee turned around to look at me after the incident and lifted his arms up in the air as if to ask what is with her...

32_Comments:
This is a clear and unequivocal and simple case of sexual harassment by a female worker in a female-managed division of TMC. The accused displayed behavior that may indicate she is responding to being mistreated/dominated/dysfunctionally instructed with harassment at home or elsewhere, or is on illegal or legal medication for a mental problem. (Not responding to questions, not really directing statements at those she is talking to but apparently at some other, slow staggering movements, leaving shift inexplicably when the administrator was called. Taking charge as if unable to communicate despite never having worked with an employee and the ease of the task.
Just before I left the TMC kitchen a large male Hispanic employee went up to stand behind a female hispanic employee to talk to her while putting his arms on her shoulders... Perhaps unreported sexual harassment as well as other workplace violations are occuring without being well and reliably reported.) The victim's time sheet shows a record that indicates the employee worked 1.5 hours before quiting his job. He clearly indicated that the reason was sexual harassment, and failure of the accused to cease harassment despite clear and loud objection stated three times, plus failure of the administrative staff to take clear and reasonable corrective action. It was somewhat more than obvious that the hospital both does not document cases of clear reported harassment nor does it take them seriously and efficiently. Both Phyllys, Mr. Roberts of human resources and the TMC Administration staff were asked by Mr. & if they would like to document the incident; he finally gave the administrative staff his email since they not only had no forms to fill out regarding workplace harassment and discrimination, they were unaware of any other procedure apparently. I don't think it's necessary to reach through my arms... Please stop touching me... Please stop reaching around me.
