Bullying in the workplace gettyWith each year, the United States falls farther behind its peers in the international community with respect to the important issue of workplace bullying. Many industrialized countries adopted workplace bullying prohibitions years ago, including Canada, Australia, Denmark, France, and Sweden. C190 is historic because it affirms the right of all workers to be free from violence and harassment in the workplace, including psychological harassment. For two decades, there have been efforts in the U.S. to adopt legislation providing a legal remedy to victims of workplace bullying. Most recently the issue of workplace bullying arose at The Ellen DeGeneres Show, where several employees decried a “toxic” workplace.
