Anti-Workplace Bullying Bill
Stop Workplace Bullying NOW!
Why is this important?
I have been bullied by fellow employees for years while management turned a blind eye. My immediate coworkers laughed in agreement of the verbal abuse, sometimes joined in and stated that they would not testify to the abuse if asked. The general consensus at work is that to advance in the workplace, you have to remain silent. Since victims cannot rely on the testimony of eye witnesses, they should be allowed to secretly record their abusers, especially if it involves management. There must be a way to root out bullying in government agencies.
