text: when one is accused of sexual harrassment at work what are your rights? i have been waiting for more than 8 months for my case to be  "ajudicated" and in the meantime i have been given new/different duties . i ama  gov't worker i found this on a website, but i'm not sure if it will help.  if you are in a union, then i would contact them.  "those who have been accused must be assured that their rights will be fully protected, and that accusation will not automatically be taken as proof. they must also be counselled not to take matters into their own hands if they believe themselves unjustly accused, and that any retaliation will be viewed seriously, irrespective of the merit of the original complaints."
