WHAT IS THIS WEEK ABOUT? SAYING NO TO ABUSIVE CONDUCT!
EDUCATE, LEGISLATE, AGITATE, RELATE

If you are target

...*) Ask a family member or a friend to write down how your being
bullied has had an impact on your and your relationship. You can save
this for testimony at a public hearing or send it to your legislator
now: http://www.cga.ct.gov/asp/menu/CGAFindLeg.asp

Anyone who doesn't like workplace bullying:

*) Get involved in the legislative campaign to stop abusive conduct at
work by supporting the Healthy Workplace Bill: http://www.healthyworkplacebill.org/

Institute: http://www.workplacebullying.org/tools/freedom_week.html

*) Send a Stop Workplace Bullying coffee cup to your legislator, carry
a Stop Workplace Bullying Tote Bag to in safe place (grocery shopping)

Read a book on Workplace Bullying, such as Gary and Ruth Namie's The
Bully at Work: http://astore.amazon.com/healthyworkplaceadvocate-20

Most of all, if you see abusive conduct going at your workplace, write
down what you see and if it's safe, intervene or report it. Always
consider your safety before you take action.
