Outcome of a Lunch and Learn on Bullying.

Attached is a copy of the posters pulled down three times by persons unknown.


The posters were only put on notice boards not on walls or doors. 

Staff were verbally instructed that the meeting was not sanctioned or authorised (pretty much telling people they couldn't attend a union information session/seminar in their own lunch break. In addition to the posters being repeatedly pulled down there are reports that flyers were removed from peoples pigeon holes.

 At the meeting there was an agreement to move forward with our anti bullying campaign by using a number of measures including:
 • General Anti Bullying posters at all workplaces.
 • "Speak Out" posters encouraging bystanders to report and speak out against bullying they see happening in the workplace
 • Staff Workplace pledges to eradicate bullying
 • Campaigning for UTS to sign the workplace dignity and respect charter
 • Continuation of Anti Bullying seminars to change the ingrained culture of bullying apparent in some sections and further inform staff of their right to come to work without fear of being bullied and harassed.

The CPSU remains committed to informing staff how to identify, survive and eliminate workplace bullying and harassment.
