Update From New York Healthy Workplace Advocates About Healthy Workplace Bill
June 4th, 2014From Mike Schlicht, NYHWA Co-Coordinator:
The State of Tennessee has passed the first bill to address workplace bullying but for those of us in New York State familiar with the Workplace Violence Prevention Law, policies mean little even if you are a public employee which this law only pertains to. As some of us have found out the hard way, the NYS Workplace Violence Prevention Law, if, and when it is enforced by a public employer, can and is used to target people in abusive work environments to react to intentional and malicious acts of workplace bullying. [That is, targets of abuse are baited by abusers and/or their flunkies].
