"NAACP resolves to seek anti-bullying legislation – The 2008 Annual
Convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
offers up the following resolution in their blog:
15. Workplace Bullying Resolved: That NAACP Units at all levels will
seek legislation at all appropriate levels to deem workplace bullying
illegal.”
If the NAACP can distinguish between racial discrimination and status-blind
workplace bullying, we may be starting to really get somewhere with this
movement. This is a very important symbolic step. This helps the anti-bullying movement to characterize itself as a civil rights cause.

Most workers are helpless because they don't know anything about employment law, but how many of us do? While there is no direct law at this time for bullies at work, they can still take action on their own by downloading a new ebook called Work Laws Exposed. Written by an employment law attorney championing the fight for US workers, it clearly explains exactly how to end not only bullying, but other workplace problems. It's a must read for any employee. I wish I had this information when I was still working. -Kiki
