 Posted: Tue Nov 21, 2006 3:10 pm Post subject: Psychological bullying |
 |
|
| I have been doing research about psychological bullying. I'm wondering if you can take legal action as this has been happening to me at work. I was thinking that the legal action would have to be taken against the person who was doing the bullying and not the company itself but I don't even know what kind of lawyer to look for. Can anyone help me? Thanks! |

Yes you can do such a thing and you are entitled to fair trial because your wrights were denied or passed by a superior.
You must ask a civil wright lawyer for assistance in this matter.You need witnesses to proove that you were bullied if not you go to trial for nothing. |

It really depends on which country you live in  )
In the USA these things are handled very easy, meaning it's "in fashion" to sue somebody for psychological bullying and the law system has developed a fast way of ending this kind of trials. However, Cip is right when mentioning witnesses. You either need a witness, a video proof, or another "victim" in the same company who has successfully handled the trial, for you to ask for the case of a precedent.
In other countries this may sound new but my opinion is that you have to go for it no matter what....it is either you or the bully to win and I think I know your answer... |

If it's not against the law to use audio or video recording for evidence purposes without the person's consent, then go for it. You can collect the evidence you need to back your case - even if witnesses are too afraid to come forward.
Always write down dates, times, and the key points of what was said. |

| In the majority of the countries the audio or video samples aren't considered evidence if you haven't an approval from the district authorny or the police.You cannot go and shoot films whenver and wherever you want, there are laws that protect personnal life. |

It seems like here in the U.S. there is always a show on TV on where someone has a "hidden camera", and they will show an employee stealing, tampering food, etc. The crazy things people will do when (they think) no one is watching.
That's a good point about the legal aspects of video/audio. A lot will depend on the country and even state laws for these things, and anyone considering using them should be aware of the laws pertaining to them. |
