If the employer doesn’t respond to your concern about bullying and harassing behaviour, or if you don’t see any response from them, please report it to WorkSafeBC. If we don’t report it and follow up, our work environment won’t get better. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect at work and everywhere! We’ve heard many stories from the picket lines, and we need to make sure people are held accountable, so these things don’t happen again.
