U need to get an education on law by going to the library sec 340 -u can research any question in the 100s of books-readers digest puts out a book called family legal guide that's easy to read-your employer is in for a surprise if he thinks he can behave this way and you'll be the one to smarten him up

Sadly,there is not much legislation to prevent workplace bullying.
In the U.S. there are 13 states currently considering legislation to address workplace abuse. To date ,it is still in the planning stages.

Depending on where you live. You might want to go to the labor board. Employers do have the right to yell at employees. Swearing might not be nice but it's not illegal. Unless the employer discriminates on the basis of race, gender or age. You can also check with the GA state agency that administers the employment discrimination laws if you believe that the swearing is related to your particular status that may be protected by state law. The courts have stated that the employment discrimination laws are not intended to be a "clean language law." If you work in a hospital, there may be special rules that could apply.

Is there an HR department in your company? Have you reported this abuse to them?

Not unless they want to be sued for a hostile work environment.

May I ask how old you are, and what type of job you have? And, Is this the owner who is doing this? And what his/her age is?

Not really sure why any of these questions are relevant except 'is it the owner', and even that doesn't matter if the person is in a position of authority.

Well, you're probably right. But I was thinking if he's 16, not 35, and his superviser is 18, not 45, it makes more sense. Either way, it shouldn't be happening.

But also keep in mind that this is not a fellow employee doing the bullying but rather then employer, so there's going to be a more rigid standard of potential culpability.

You would think that employees would be protected by employer bullying as well but I did not find any research to indicate that as the case,unless it is within the parameters of sexual harassment,age , race or sexual orientation discrimination.
There really is no law that says your boss can't be a jerk. Sad but true,at least from everything I found.
If you can prove that employer harassment has caused you pain and suffering,you may have a civil case.
I am not a professional researcher but I didn't find anything.Its sucks!

Right. And this is probably the OP's ace in the hole.

If he is the owner of the store then your main option is to find another job.

Do you have a reference site for this? I find the language interesting and it would be helpful to something I'm working on.

We may be talking to the NEW owner.
There's absolutely no way I would allow someone to talk about my children, or any circumstances surrounding them. You should get him on tape talking to you like that. Or better yet, consult an attorney, now.

And then what does the OP do with the tape recording? I don't see anything more than simple harassment here - agreed it's inappropriate and offensive but without knowing more about the situation I see no legal action.
