@CortezMasto Do you care about Nevada workers who are being bullied in the workplace and taking their own lives to stop the abuse? You are doing great thing for our Union members but what about all the other hard working people who keep your economy flourishing? We need @DignityWorkAct
@RISenate@SenatorCiccone How can this help the rest of the country? @POTUS@VP We owe it to working class Americans to provide protections at work against #bullies and we shouldn't have to beg State legislators to introduce this legislation!!!
@SenatorCiccone@DignityWorkAct that combats workplace bullying PASSES–The Senate today passed Sen. Frank A. Ciccone’s (D-Dist. 7, Providence, North Providence) legislation (2022-S 2486A) that would provide workers with more protection from bullying & harassment in the workplace
The bill also provides an incentive for employers to prevent, detect, remedy and eliminate workplace bullying in order that such behaviors shall be addressed and eliminated before they cause harm to the targets of such behaviors.
It will provide legal remedies for workers who are targets of workplace bullying, moral, psychological or general harassment and/or other forms of workplace abuse in order to make whole such targets of workplace abuse.
The purpose of the legislation is to recognize and protect the right to dignity in the workplace, and to prevent, detect, remedy and eliminate all forms of workplace bullying and harassment that infringe upon that right.
Rhode Island workers deserve to have the Dignity at Work Act become law and I thank my colleagues in the Senate for supporting this important piece of workplace protection legislation,” said Senator Ciccone.
“I have been introducing similar legislation for many years and in today’s climate of accountability being brought upon harassers, bullies, and abusers, we must continue the social progress we have made and pass this protective legislation for all employees in Rhode Island...
Psychological invalidation is one of the most lethal forms of emotional abuse. It kills confidence, creativity, sense of self, self esteem and Individuality.
Bullied workers experience "present-eeism" (vs. absenteeism) at work. When bullies attack and ridicule all improvement efforts, workers sense no control over performance outcomes. Why bother? Motivation is lost. Workers disengage. Focus diminishes. Accidents increase.
