DESCRIPTION:10/17 SF Stop Workplace Bullying Rally And Speak-out\nMonday October 17, 
 2016 5:00 PM\nSan Francisco City Hall Polk St. Entrance\n\nOctober is the 
 annual commemoration of Stop Workplace Bullying Week\n\nWorkers and 
 advocates for health and safety on the job will join together at San 
 Francisco city hall to speak out against workplace bullying. There is an 
 epidemic of workplace bullying in the United States causing injuries to 
 workers, their families, co-workers as well as the public. Workplace 
 bullying is creating unsafe workplaces and a toxic environment for all 
 workers. We need to educate ourselves and the public to stop workplace 
 bullying including legislation to make it illegal, an education campaign in 
 the workplace and actions against bullies when management will not reign 
 them in for re-training or discipline. Workplace bullying also is a growing 
 cause of workers compensation for mental and physical distress and is 
 sometimes costing the lives of workers who are bullied.\nIn the City and 
 County of San Francisco has had to pay out tens millions of tax dollars in  
 compensation to whistleblowers who have been bullied for exposing financial 
 mismanagement, corruption and cronyism.  Many of these workers put their 
 careers and their jobs in jeopardy because they were  conscience and wanted 
 to do their jobs.\nWorkers should not have to put up with an unsafe work 
 environment that threatens their health and safety.\n\nThis rally will hear 
 about what workplace bullying, who is doing it and how to stop it. Only our 
 collective action can really put an end to this terror on the 
 job.\n\nSponsored by\nSEIU 1021 San Francisco COPE\nStop Workplace Bullying
