Pilton Sucks dotCom

Friends and readers. We have received a post from a reader in Manchester who tells us that he and his colleagues have been following our campaign to have workplace bullying outlawed.

Our friend is employed in a large local Authority run organisation in central Manchester. He tells us that he and his colleagues are now  much more aware than they were before about the dangers of workplace bullying thanks to Pilton Sucks.

 He tells us that a question was raised at their weekly team meeting regarding the policy of bullying and harassment at work. He was told that the any kind of workplace bullying or harassment of any kind would not be tolerated and that disaplinary procedures would be rigourously enforced.

This is good news indeed and shows that at least this organisation is fully tuned in to the dangers of workplace bullying.This is the third post we have had from different parts of the UK with regards to our campaign and shows that people are now becoming more aware of a potential bully in the workplace.

This spurs us on to continue our campaign to have this workplace disease outlawed and be made a criminal offence. We have seen from our research that in some cases when workplace bullying is brought to the attention of those charged to deal with it, heads are buried in the sand with the hope that the victims give up,or resign their post.

This is not only morally indefensible it is cowardice  in the extreme. Pilton Sucks and other organisations who highlight workplace bullying must press for legislation to make sure bullys are stopped in their tracks and the organisations who protect them be named and shamed.

We know the cost of workplace bullying both in cost to the economy and in personal cost to the victims is enormous,and steps have to be taken to right this obvious wrong.

The more pressure that is exerted,to fight this evil,and the more publicity it receives the quicker employers will realise they have to clean up their act. There can be no hiding place for the bully or the organisation that protects them.

Pilton Sucks Will play it’s part in highlighting and fighting this workplace evil. We warmly welcome those that take the time to write in and tell us about their situation,and we will always help and advise were necessary.

Once again we say that your employer has a duty of care to you. If they choose to neglect that duty and hide behind some rule or other,they risk the adverse publicity that will surely follow.

There is no room in the workplace for a bully.
