1. Determining Need for Commission
• Nielsen and Nelson (2005) continue:
• "Deciding whether or not one should make a complaint
internally within the organization, to a Federal Agency,
to a lawyer, or even to one's friends and family involves
complicated processes. ... In the Rutgers study …, more
than a third (34%) of those who reported unfair
treatment in the workplace did not do anything (Dixon
et al., 2002, p. 15). Although they also may complain to
friends, family members, or people in the office;" 4%
"quit;" and 2% "confronted the person." Only 3% said
they "sued" the company or their co-worker" (p. 19).
