Campaigning
against Workplace Bullying
Here
are just some of the many current campaigns and laws that
deal with workplace bullying that you may wish to get involved
in. For
extra impact, targets are advised to campaign where possible
with others. This may be with a support group that is a
member of the Support
Group Network, or if you do not have access to a face
to face group, you may wish to join the jfo:i
Online Support Group so that your voice can
still be heard.
You
may also wish to see what action is happening in other
countries, as above.
Can
you help other victims to take action by submitting
current or updated details of campaigns and laws
in your country for inclusion on
this page? Your contribution will be gratefully
received and fully acknowledged on jfo.

calls for independent whistleblower agency
The
Nova Scotia Government and General Employees Union (NSGEU/NUPGE)
would like to see an independent agency created to hear
complaints and offer advice to whistleblowers seeking to
expose government and corporate corruption. Public opinion
research found that six out of 10 Canadians think whistle-blower
protection laws are a good idea and a survey conducted
last year revealed that more than two million workers have
witnessed serious misconduct where they work but have been
afraid to blow the whistle publicly.
