Last week ABC management got a grilling at a Senate Estimates hearing over bullying complaints. Questions were asked about the significant growth in workers compensation claims for bullying and harassment. Questions were also raised about the most recent Employee Assistance Program (EAP) report that shows a disturbing level of cries for help from employees about workplace conflict. The report paints a picture of an organisation that is decidedly unhealthy. Over the past year workplace bullying at the ABC has been repeatedly raised in the Industrial Relations Commission (AIRC). Last month, the AIRC decided to conduct an independent inquiry into bullying in the Victorian News room.
