Is there an epidemic of bullying against whistleblower and public workers in Northern California? This forum will have speakers discussing what is happening on the job including bullying against public workers and whistleblowers.

In cities and many public agencies, managers and supervisors have a free hand to threaten and intimidate public workers with the support of top management and many politicians. This forum will have cases of bullying and what we should do about it. It is not only a threat to those who have been bullied but to the health and public safety of all working people and the public.
