Bullying is a serious concern for
Unite members in the Education Sector.
Bullying is a widespread and serious problem and one which none
of us can afford to ignore. It can lead to terrible consequences
for employees, organisations and the economy as a whole.
If you are being bullied at work you should not suffer in
silence but should seek immediate advice from your Unite workplace
representative or Regional Officer.
