Texas Mediator: Mediation inappropriate for Workplace Bullying cases

No Mediation for Workplace Bullying
by Esque Walker, Ph.D., Texas Certified Distinguished Mediator
Mediation is an inappropriate alternative in cases involving any type of abuse or violence such as domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault, school or workplace bullying.
The victims or targets in these situations are at a disadvantage and are subjected to further abuse.
Mediation is a process in which disputing parties with the assistance of a third party, the mediator, come together in an attempt to resolve their differences in an acceptable manner (win/win) to both parties. The mediation process assumes that all parties involved in the mediation are “sufficiently capable” of negotiating and reaching a mediated agreement with each other as equals in the process. In cases involving workplace bullying or any type of family violence, this is a false assumption; individuals experiencing abuse, violence, or similar interactions are disempowered their ability to deal effectively with their abusers are diminished.
When the mediation process was designed, it was not intended to or structured to deal with the complexity of workplace bullying or other forms of violence.

The growing problem of workplace bullying
Thursday, November 17th, 2011
by Phyllis Guest, Dallas Voice, Nov. 17, 2011
Bullying isn’t just confined to teens; adults in the workplace are targeted, too.
I recently met a remarkable woman who has a lot to say about a kind of adult bullying that hits straights as well as LGBTS, that hurts men as well as women, that harms older and less connected workers the most, and that is so pervasive it’s called “The Silent Epidemic.”
Esque Walker, who lives in Corsicana and drove up to Dallas recently to give a Saturday morning presentation on workplace bullying, has an undergraduate degree in health information management, a masters in healthcare/health information management and a doctorate in public policy and administration.

Resisting on-the-job bullying
Friday, May 20th, 2011
By L.M. SIXEL, HOUSTON CHRONICLE, May 20, 2011
Bosses seldom attack employees physically, but emotional bullying can cause enough damage that some say it should be against the law.
According to the Workplace Bullying Institute, half of the U.S. workforce has witnessed such bullying, experienced it or known a family member who was bullied at work. The group has promoted legislation that has been introduced in 11 states to outlaw what it calls the “silent epidemic.”
