I can’t wait to hear the outcome of this. Laws should be in place to protect the victims of workplace bullying, since often people actually die because of it, that’s premeditated murder, due to health reasons, stress, heart attacks, GI problems, suicide, etc. due to the direct result of workplace bullying.
