[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 314743, member: 1991"] Here's hoping she's OK. The guy sounds like a nasty piece of work. In Australia we have strict legislation about this - whistleblower legistlation - which states that to be penalised or given a hard time in any way for "whistleblowing" or dobbing in someone, is illegal in a very big way. It doesn't stop people doing this, but it gives extra clout to those who find themselves being hassled first inappropriately, and then again, for trying to stop what shouldn't be happening. Find out if your country has similar laws. The people to contact are the unions, as a first port of call. If she's not a member they may refuse to help, but if there is a government department, they may tell you where it is and wish you luck. And even if she's not a member, if it's serious enough, they may take it on just to provide support to those who COULD be members. Another mob to check out - is the business affiliated with a relevant professional association? For example here in Sydney such a business would be affiliated with licensed real estate agents; such a state body has its own code of ethics and aims to keep valuable employees content in the workplace. it doesn't look good in te industry, for staff to be constantly leaving because they're being treated badly. For an employer to knowingly allow this to continue, is for that employer to connive and condone that bad behaviour. The employer is the one ultimately responsible for keepnig employees safe. The buck has to stop somewhere; it's just a matter of keeping the buck passing along until someone picks it up and deals with it. And for every level of administration that is informed and does nothing, there is usually a very large steel-capped boot being lined up for their rear ends... Marg [/QUOTE]
