Harassment and Discrimination

 
It is very difficult when you are aware of discrimination and or harassment in the workplace and have decided not to tolerate it any longer. If you are the one being discriminated against at work due to raising issues with the management regarding any kind of harassment or discrimination you are protected; the law protects you, the Equality Law which was introduced in October 2010 has introduced new and revised laws which may have altered or improved the Laws protecting you .

If you believe you have been labelled a troublemaker or whistleblower and feel victimised , you need to get advice from a union member / advisor or a solicitor to talk over your options. When you decide to speak out, often you can feel as if you are the one who has been committing the offence and not the perpetrator.
 

To stand by and do nothing endorses the destructive and demeaning behaviour,

 

make your voice heard

 

When you are asked if you have witnessed discrimination or harassment towards one of your work colleagues what would you do?

 

 Not say anything – after all you don’t want to loose your job or would you stand with them ?

 

- One day it might be you -
