Supervisors May Face Liability if Bullying Law is Passed

On March 24, Wisconsin Assembly Representatives Kelda Helen Roys, Christine Sinicki, and Terese Berceau introduced 2009 Assembly Bill (AB) 894 , which seeks to provide Wisconsin employees the right to file a lawsuit in state court over "bullying" behavior in the workplace. Among other things, the bill would allow employees to sue their employers and supervisors for compensatory and punitive damages and have their supervisors removed from the work area.
