Does the EEOC consider harassment and discrimination to be the same when
responding to an employee complaint? For example, if asked if a company has
had any other harassment complaints would we have to respond yes for a discrimination complaint with EEOC based on race and religion?

    [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 12-27-01 AT 06:27PM (CST)[/font][p]In the first US Supreme Court case in 1986 that upheld lower court rulings on sexual harasment under the Civil Rights Act, then Justice Rehnquist noted that sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination. And obviously, not all alleged acts of discrimination under the CRA would form harassment.
