Are there laws for Hostile Work Environments in NJ?

By hostile, do you mean unsafe? please explain further.

Being told that I had to put up with constant verbal and mental abuse.

Tell him to make a claim with the labor department.

Hopefully, you kept a journal as to when these things occurred, otherwise it’s one person opposition to another, Explain the abuse further. So far, it’s very vague.

How about some examples? like who said what, when, where and why.

contact the NJ division of labor
