Bullying in the workplace

From The Panel, 4:11 pm on 3 December 2018

We discuss bullying in the workplace after two cases hit the news in recent days. National MP Maggie Barry has denied allegations of workplace bullying against her and leader Simon Bridges says her backs her. Some have suggested the leaking of these details was by some inside the party to undermine a possible leadership bid.

Meanwhile, accusations of workplace bullying by Retirement Commissioner Diane Maxwell have been revealed, which she also denies.

We talk to Employment lawyer Gareth Abdinor about what is expected, and what's not tolerated in the workplace.
