Workplace Bullying
Show 1406

No one promised that work would be fun.  But it shouldn't be painful!

This edition of Due Process examines the problem of Workplace Bullying - abuse by a boss or fellow worker that is severe enough to cause physical or psychological damage.  Some say the problem is so prevalent that it requires a new statute that would allow a bullied worker to sue an employer, even absent racial, religious, sexual orientation, or gender grounds.

Sandra King reports on the case of one bullied public employee, and hosts an in-studio debate featuring employer defense attorney Rosemary Alito, American Trial Lawyers Association representative and plaintiff's lawyer Kevin Costello, and New Jersey State Bar Foundation school bullying expert Leisa Ann Smith.
