Work bullies could face 10 years in jail

Post by brothermagrew »

New penalties for workplace bullying to be introduced by an Australian state government have been welcomed by unions - but they are warning employers must be accountable for providing safe workplaces in which bullying does not occur in the first place. Ged Kearney, president of the national union federation ACTU, said employers, governments and workers had a shared responsibility to make workplaces safe, secure and free of harassment. She added that the new Crimes Amendment (Bullying) Act, to be introduced this week in the state of Victoria, was an important signal and would mean bullies could face up to 10 years' jail.

Me thinks something of this calibre is long overdue on the UK statute books :hmmmm
