Labor Day 2023: Nearly 1 in 5 U.S. workers report workplace toxicity in APA study
On this Labor Day 2023, let’s focus on a recently-released survey by the American Psychological Association (APA), reporting that some 19% of respondents labeled their workplace as being “very or somewhat toxic.” The 2023 release of the APA’s annual Work in America Survey (link here) shows that many U.S. workers are not happy with the culture […]GoFundMe has become our privatized, online form of public assistance
In this awful summer of climate and weather extremes, the wildfires on the Hawaiian island of Maui have been especially heartbreaking to me. Hardest hit was Lahaina, the historic whaling town and popular tourist site, which now stands virtually destroyed. As summarized by the Washington Post: The wildfires that swept through parts of Maui last […]Long-term UIC study: Chronic workplace bullying can negatively impact targets for years; laws and policies needed

New Workplace Institute
I'm a law professor at Suffolk University Law School, where I teach and write primarily in the field of employment & labor law. My particular focus is workplace bullying -- repeated, malicious mistreatment of workers by verbal and non-verbal means. I've started the New Workplace Institute, a research and education center devoted to promoting healthy, productive, and socially responsible workplaces. Please visit the Institute blog, Minding the Workplace (http://newworkplace.wordpress.com) for regular posts about workplace bullying, psychological health at work, workers' rights, the economy, and related topics.
