The main reason for more people taking their cases through the Employment Tribunal is that employers are Bullying with harassment at work their employees.
Examples of bullying/harassing behaviour include:
? spreading malicious rumours, or insulting someone by word or behaviour (particularly on the grounds of age, race, sex, disability, sexual orientation and religion or belief)
? copying memos that are critical about someone to others who do not need to know
? ridiculing or demeaning someone – picking on them or setting them up to fail
? exclusion or victimisation
? unfair treatment
? overbearing supervision or other misuse of power or position
? unwelcome sexual advances – touching, standing too close, the display of offensive materials, asking for sexual favours, making decisions on the basis of sexual advances being accepted or rejected
? making threats or comments about job security without foundation
? deliberately undermining a competent worker by overloading and constant criticism

? preventing individuals progressing by intentionally blocking promotion or training opportunities.
Bullying and harassment are not necessarily face to face. They may also occur in written communications, email, phone, and automatic supervision methods such as computer recording of downtime from work or the number of calls handled if these are not applied to all workers.
Bullying and harassment make someone feel anxious and humiliated. Feelings of anger and frustration at being unable to cope may be triggered. Some people may try to retaliate in some way. Others may become frightened and demotivated. Stress, loss of self-confidence and self-esteem caused by harassment or bullying can lead to job insecurity, illness, absence from work, and even resignation. Almost always job performance is affected and relations in the workplace suffer.
Everyone should be treated with dignity and respect at work. Bullying and harassment of any kind are in no-one's interest and should not be tolerated in the workplace, but if you are being bullied or harassed it can be difficult to know what to do about it. The answer is, take action and protect your job from these bullies, do not be humiliated. Generally, the person who is the bully is not well educated and has very few qualifications if any and no management training!
The above examples are being used every day to `dispose` of employees has employers believe this is more cost effect!
Do we live in the 21st century or are we back in the dark ages?
