Employers are not liable for psychological safety nor do they want to be, which is why they ignore complaints. Ignoring complaints further harms innocent employees who have done nothing other than ask their employer for a safe work environment free from all forms of abuse. Instead of helping her or addressing the real problem (John Moseley), they doubled down and upped the ante. When Dr. Candia-Bailey reported psychologically abusive behavior not covered under existing law, she was the one perceived to be a threat of liability to administrators. On January 8, 2025, End Workplace Abuse will lead a nationwide protest on the first anniversary of the needless death of Dr. Candia-Bailey to raise public awareness about the widespread use of these abusive, inhumane, and cruel workplace practices researchers refer to as processes of dehumanization and traumatization. WE NEED A LAW: the Workplace Psychological Safety Act, which calls employers to account for abuse in the workplace that jeopardizes the safety of employees and the work environment itself. Please join us in demanding Justice for Bonnie. It is not every day that we have the ability to stand in solidarity and leverage our voices in unison across the United States. Dr. Candia-Bailey was one of us and she can no longer speak for herself, but we can do what she asked us to do: “Don’t let them sweep this under the rug!” Working that day? Take a personal day. Make no mistake about it: workplace abuse is highly personal and deadly. https://actionnetwork.org/events/justice-for-bonnie
