Hostile Work Environment Rules: Comparative Analysis of U.S. and Canadian Laws

The MeToo Movement shocked the world and encouraged multiple victims of workplace harassment to disclose the severity of the problem. A few years have come since the onset of this notorious process, and it is reasonable to investigate if modern countries have adequate legislation to address the selected problem. Therefore, the legislation of the United States and Canada is the object of this research. The comparative research methodology is used to identify the applicable laws, compare them, and comment on the notable findings. This approach is practical and helpful since it highlights efficient strategies that other countries can use to succeed in the selected area. The research has identified that the two countries differ in the sources of law, enforcement, remedies, and definition conditions. Canada impresses with a more tailored approach to satisfy its local needs, but the two countries should regularly update and improve their legislation to address new harassment manifestations and challenges.
