Act Now
Once again workplace bullying hits the headlines.Kirsty Balfour who suffers from Turners Syndrome which causes co-ordination problems also growth and memory problems threw herself in front of a train and lost her right arm and leg. Kirsty had told members of her family she had been repeatedly bullied at work.She had raised being bullied with her employers Morrisons store at Anchor Mills Paisley but felt she was being ignored.
 Of course Morrisons have denied knowing that bullying was taking place.In fact a spokesperson churned out a meaningless statement saying any allegation being made would have been investigated and dealt with promptly.A young woman trying to lead a normal life had been subjected to workplace bullying and the resulting trauma it caused ,lead to Kirsty trying to take her own life.
What a disgrace and the bulliers walk free. As you know Pilton Sucks.com is actively campaigning for an end to workplace bullying and demanding it be made a criminal offence. Kirsty was in such torment she took drastic action which nearly ended her life. Society has to take action against this crime of workplace bullying and put an end to these thugs who destroy other peoples lives.

Sadly this kind of behaviour happens in the supermarket trade all too often because store managment put profit before people, the very same people who help to make the big profits for the shareholders. I am currently employed by this company and i can HONESTLY say they are by far the worst people i have ever worked for in my career, the people responsible for this must be named and charged for what they have done to kirsty.
However the silence from Morrison’s is nothing short of shameful, even thought it has been the new year holidays this is just not good enough because their shops opened again for business on the 2nd of january so their head office is also open, also if the story was untrue where is their statement of denial, they knew for weeks that the story was going to be in the press and done nothing to stop it, WHY? because they are GUILTY. that’s why.

Thanks for your comment. Workplace bullying is a disease which can as we know only to well can cause the victim terrible pain and suffering. Morrisons indeed should be ashamed of themselves,and the consumers should vote with their feet and boycote their stores. Staff have the right to be treated with dignity and respect,this did not happen in Kirstys case,and they should hang their heads in shame. We are activley asking consumers all over Scotland to stop shopping at Morrisons until they take positve action and get rid of bullys immediatly.Unfortunatly that will not help Kirsty,but court action might if only to highlight this terrible tradgedy.
