'If you can link it to sex, race or disability discrimination, you can claim under those pieces of legislation,' she says. 'If you can't, it is not so easy.'<BR/><BR/>However, there have been some successful cases. Firefighter John Richards, who was forced to leave his job in 1995 after he claimed he was victimised and bullied by his boss, won more than £100,000 in an out-of-court settlement with West Glamorgan Fire Service after backing from the Fire Brigade Union.<BR/><BR/>Maths teacher Alan Barber won £100,000 damages at Exeter county council in March 2001 for stress caused by bullying at his school in East Bridgwater, Somerset. He was head of department and took on the additional role of public relations officer, until he became so ill he had to give up work due to bullying from the head teacher.<BR/><BR/>For most of people, however, legal action is the last resort. They would much rather be able to do their job – without the bullying.<BR/><BR/>Aphra BehnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28080901.post-50698236239170145242007-12-27T12:03:00.000+00:002007-12-27T12:03:00.000+00:00Those of us who struggle on our own to fight workp...Those of us who struggle on our own to fight workplace bullying are indebted to this blog and those who maintain it.<BR/><BR/>Aphra BehnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
