Non-Discrimination Policy

MBLI strives to provide a work environment where all employees can work together comfortably and productively, free from harassment and discrimination. MBLI prohibits the harassment of or discrimination against any of its employees based on an individual’s race, religion, color, national origin, physical or mental disability, marital status, military/veteran status, age, sex, sexual orientation, personal appearance, political affiliation or other characteristics protected by applicable laws.

While it is not easy to define what harassment is, prohibited harassment may include, but is not limited to, epithets, slurs, derogatory comments or jokes, intimidation, negative stereotyping, threats, assault or any physical interference with the employee’s normal work or movement. Harassment may also include written or graphic material placed on walls, bulletin boards or elsewhere on MBLI’s premises or circulated in the workplace that denigrates, and/or shows hostility or aversion towards an individual or group because of the characteristics identified above. The conduct prohibited by this policy includes conduct in any form including but not limited to email, voice mail, chat rooms, Internet use or history, text messages, pictures, images, writings, words or gestures
