I applaud the Secretary's remarks and stance but not enough is done at the lower levels of the Bureacracy for this problem to change. I should know since I was bullied there and resigned for a new job elsewhere in gov't. Bullying is rampant at the State Department.

We expect to have a new, beautiful, fully functional site sometime in September. The less-than-up-to-date information still lurks there behind the front page. For now, follow this link.

I would like to sign this and learn more. I have been part of the workforce for 30 years and never knew this existed until I started with my current employer. I am experincing this torture every day for the last 7 years with my current boss. There is no place to go for help and if you do seek assistance the punishment/retaliation becomes hostile and can become violent. The legislators need to pass a law now to stop this. They need to make this a criminal offense. The person doing this to employees need to be punished. These situations are the same as being in a abusive relationship married or not. This inflicting medical issues and some times death behind their actions. I tried to get into this web site to read this & it shows to be under construction. I would like to sign this and learn more.

Law professor David Yamada wrote the anti-bullying Healthy Workplace Bill and we have been advocating for it since 2001. There are volunteer State Coordinators in 26 states working to get the bill passed into law. Since 2003, 16 states have introduced some version of the HWB.
