Success.
It would seem according to reports we have received, that the 10am stand up and beat the bully was a big success. Thats great news but it is only the start. Workplace bullying is now on the agenda, and we must continue to up the profile.
Only last week we received a letter from a teacher who told us of the terrible way in which he was treated by the head teacher, indeed he eventually took out a private prosecution and won. The law is beginning to recognise that workplace bulling is a crime-of course it is.
One of our associates was recently at a Howard League meeting[penal reform group] and raised the question of workplace bullying with a sherrif at the end of the meeting. His reply was that workplace bullying in his opinion was a hidden crime. Hidden because those being bullied were to afraid to come forward because of lack of support. This in itself was criminal behaviour, He also went on to say he had been reading our site from time to time, and we were to be congratulated for raising the problem of workplce bullying.
Our message is clear and is now reaching more ears workplace bullying is not on and must be stamped on right away.
On an further interesting point. We wonder how many people stood up at 10am in Muirhouse Social Work Centre,bet the bully didnt.Â
