Something needs to change and change NOW when the costs of seeking justice is a deterrent to over 80% of victims being able to proceed to do so and then living with the stigma and trauma of the bullying.
Corporate law firms generate significant revenue from pushing employers to not settle bullying cases without litigation and the ERA has become a place where money talks.
Examples of semi government organizations spending upwards of $500,000 on legal fees to defend cases that could have been settled for $30,000 are common, Taxpayer funds are channeled to these lawyers and there is no auditing of bad employers with a track record of bullying and big legal costs.
