UNISON Online Bullying & Harassment Survey

An “On-line” confidential survey has been launched by UNISON into bullying and harassment at work. Check out this link here. UNISON obviously believes that everyone should be treated with dignity and respect while at work. Bullying and harassment are major problems which “...leads to ill health, work related stress and can also be the cause of untold misery to workers. This is not just bad for the workforce but is also bad management practice”.

UNISON has commissioned Portsmouth University to do this research and aim to use it to raise issues with the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) and for branches to use it in negotiations with their employers.

This is an excellent initiative and just the sort of evidence based support that hard pressed branch safety reps need on the front line.

This sort of thing is simply “proper” and practical trade unionism.
