Friday, August 30th, 2013

Pissed off by what seem like never ending revelations on Hunter-L, a main Hunter College listserv, and department memos echoing the listserv postings about the debauching of the Department of Film and Media Studies, a Colleague posted the following listserv comment, referring to me, the primary protagonist for disclosure and transparency.

More About NYS Healthy Workplace Bill S3863 (Workplace Anti-Bullying Bill)

Saturday, June 15th, 2013

The email I sent to NYS Senator John DeFrancisco, Chair of the Senate Finance Committee, is better than the previous one sent to several senators on the Labor Committee of the New York State Senate. It’s more accurate.

Dear Senator John DeFrancisco, Chair of the Senate Finance Committee,

The Healthy Workplace Bill was referred to the Senate Finance Committee in the next step of the legislative process.

NYHWA is looking for constituents of his, people who work in his district and those who are from the Greater Syracuse area to speak briefly about their workplace bullying experience as we ask for him to place the bill on the agenda for a vote.

I still have my copy of the Parisi email.
