is this harassment? Australia/qld law?
There is an emplyee of a gym that I go to that has been standing behind me when I attend a group fitness class, today he came that close to me that i fell over from stepping away from him. I have been having nightmares these last 2 nights and can’t stop crying now after he did this. Has he broken the law and what can I do to stop this man?
My trainer already has made a complaint in the past to managment
Your first stop is the management of the gym. The employee may be interpreting your lack of action against his behavior as tacit approval. If your approach to the management of the gym is unsuccessful – the easiest solution is to demand your membership be prorated and take your business elsewhere. It would be very difficult to prove harassment if all he does is interfere with you in the gym and not outside. Another approach is to say loudly to the person not to come near to you – do this in public for effect.
Another ploy is the next time you are in close proximity and “fall over”, fiend injury and threaten to pursue a tort action against the gym.
