NAACP’s King march on Monday addresses Workplace Bullying
Monday, January 16th, 2012
The Springfield (Illinois) Branch of the NAACP will be host the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Unity March on Monday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The march will start at 11 a.m. at Pilgrim Rest Missionary Baptist Church, 1800 S. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, and continue to Pleasant Grove Baptist Church, 908 S. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive.
Past marches have attracted a diverse crowd. “It’s black, it’s white, it’s Baptist, Jewish, Christian, Catholic and Muslim. We all come out and march in unity,” said Teresa Haley, president of the local NAACP branch. “We try to keep the dream alive.” After the march, there will a program at Pleasant Grove, “What would Dr. King Say About Bullying Today?”
Haley said bullying is a problem that elementary school students through high schoolers can face, and it is also seen in the workplace. If King were alive today and saw the bullying problem, Haley said he would probably ask, “How far have we really come?”"He would remind people of what he stood for, what he fought for and what he died for,” she said. “He would try to encourage people to get back on the right track. I think we’re getting lost.” There will also be a voter-registration drive at the church.

Why the Healthy Workplace Bill requires an attorney to sue
Monday, January 9th, 2012
Many people want a law against workplace bullying. The official campaign for this legislation began in California in 2002 (first bill introduction in 2003) and turns 10 years in 2012. The text of the bill was written by Suffolk Law Professor David C. Yamada for Workplace Bullying Institute founders to take to state houses throughout the land.
So, here we educate site visitors about a key part of the HWB as introduced in the 21 states since 2003. The bill requires the “private right of action.” That means that individuals wanting to sue using the bill after it becomes law must rely on an attorney they find and hire. There need not be government involvement.

WBI response to J. Harper’s spurious claim of “anti-bully hysteria”
Friday, December 16th, 2011
A Dec. 15 post on the Huffington Post by bullied-out-of-her-career Janice Harper caught the attention of those of us operating at “ground zero” of the workplace bullying movement. Attacks on the movement are analogous to attacks on the originators and chief spokespersons — that’s us. Space to comment on other sites is too limited. So, I use our own platform to respond point-by-point on behalf of millions of bullied individuals. Her piece was provocatively titled: “Top Ten Reasons to Rethink Anti-Bully Hysteria.”

A manager calls an important meeting with no time to prepare, making co-worker appear incompetent. She ridicules him in front of his peers and jumps at the chance to criticize his work. She’s a bully. And she’s setting up a co-worker to fail.
