According to the publication, in 2007, the American Bar
Association Labor Law surveyed 1 thousand. Employees of commercial companies
and found that almost half had to endure insults and threats from management.
In 2004, the American Institute of safety in the workplace reported that one in
four employers recognize the existence of such problems. This year, researchers
studied 110 cases of threatening behavior at work over the past 20 years, came
to the conclusion that the victim's threats are more likely than victims of
harassment of a sexual nature, were fired from their jobs, complained of
psychological or physical problems.
"Employees who behave emotionally and offensively, may
damage the company's reputation in the eyes of customers and employees, and poison
the work environment", - said Bruce Vulpert, CEO of the distribution
company "Graniterock". "Threats are heard in the address of one
person, and the whole company suffers," - he says. Angela Cornell, Cornell
professor of the Law School, specializing in labor law, says that bullying at
work - quite common and better "to suppress it in the bud, before it
becomes a problem."
"I have no doubt that employees of many companies are
faced with similar situations," - he says the lawyer, counselor Center
subscription service, "the NS" Dmitry Kofanov and emphasizes that the
Labor Code (LC), similar problems are not involved. TC regulates relations
"employer-slave", while the role of the employer's favor a particular
company. In the case of a threat to a person waving his fists is not a company,
and the other particular person, with whom relations are governed by the
Criminal Code (CC) and the Code of Administrative Offenses. According to the
lawyer Victoria Bodrova, threatening behavior at work is very difficult to
take, even under any article of the Criminal Code.
