Workplace bullying on the riseAt any given time, 20 to 30 per cent of workers in North America have experienced workplace bullying, and that number soars to 60 per cent for first responders. There are federal and provincial occupational health and safety legislation to address workplace bullying and sexual harassment.

Canada’s Criminal Code also requires amendments that would make workplace violence, bullying and sexual harassment criminal offences. Chan’s death is a stark reminder that workplace bullying and sexual harassment is deadly.
