Bullying and harassment at work are not acceptable and should not be ignored. If you are being bullied, you may wish to keep a written record of what has happened, including dates, times, what was said or done, and any witnesses. This information can be helpful if the issue needs to be raised formally.
You should contact your trade union representative for confidential advice as early as possible. A union rep can talk through your options, which may include informal resolution, support through management intervention, or raising a formal grievance if necessary. The union’s role is to ensure you are listened to, treated with dignity and respect, and supported while steps are taken to address the situation.
