Batas vs office bullying
Hindi
lang sa eskuwelahan may bully, kahit na sa office.
Kasama sa parurusahan ang nagkakalat ng tsismis
at credit grabbing.
Kaya nais
ni Ako Bicol Partylist Rep Rodel Batocabe na maisabatas ang Anti-Office
Bullying bill (HB00815) na nakabinbin sa House committee on civil service and
professional regulation.
Inalis si
Batangas Rep Vilma Sanrtos-Recto bilang chairman ng naturang komite matapos na
bumoto laban sa Death Penalty bill.
“The enactment
of this proposed bill would generate policies inhibiting employees and
employers from performing acts that would cause lasting damages to their peers
and co-workers,” ani Batocabe.
Umaasa si
Batocabe na magtatalaga na ang liderato ng Kamara ng kapalit ni Recto at ng iba
ang mga inalis upang makapagtrabaho na ang mga komite.
“We want
a workplace free from any forms of discrimination and judgment, unmindful to
race, ethnic origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, social
status, age, and political beliefs,” ani Batocabe. “Bullying in the workplace
is often overlooked and unheeded by organizations, human resource managers and
administrative personnel until it results to irremediable damage to our
workers.”
Sa ilalim
ng panukala, ang bawat pribadong kompanya o ahensya ng gobyerno ay maglalatag
ng guidelines kaugnay ng office bullying.
“It
breeds a hostile work environment for everyone in the office and infringes on
the rights of other people in the work premises. It often disrupts the order
and peace in workplaces.”
