Make all workplace bullying illegal

What the petition asks
We want the Government to change the law to make all workplace bullying illegal.
There is no law to specifically protect people from workplace bullying, and we believe some companies turn a blind eye to bullying, or even condone this.
Some organisations have reported that around 1 in 3 workers are the victim of workplace bullying. Many workers may feel stuck in a role where they are bullied, because they are financially dependant on their job.
Bullying can be hugely detrimental to victims, and we believe current protections are too limited.
