WBI Healthy Workplace Bill catches eye of Mayor Bloomberg; He hates it!
Saturday, May 15th, 2010
The hysteria heard from the business community suggests how much momentum the WBI Legislative Campaign has been gaining since the first bill was introduced in 2003 in California. On May 12, the NY Senate passed the anti-bullying Healthy Workplace Bill (S 1823B) (read the recently posted story below). On May 14, the Wall Street Journal interviewed opponents of the bill — including NYC Mayor Bloomberg and Assemblywoman Susan John who chairs the Labor committee that must pass it before an Assembly floor vote can be taken. Read the article and please write a comment to counter the silliness. By the way, the voices of opposition are parroting the tired, untruthful Chamber of Commerce mantra: “don’t help employees because it will hurt business and helping business is the lawmakers’ most important job.”
