WILD in the Winter

Standing up to Bullying in the Workplace.
At WILD in the Winter 2010, we took a look at what we can do to combat workplace bullying and harassment  - as unions, organizations and individuals. 

WILD in the Winter EAST, in Boston:
Saturday, March 6th
8:30am-2:00pm
Plumbers & Gasfitters Local 12
1240 Massachusetts Ave., Boston 02125

Participants were inspired by speakers who have stood up against bullying. Workshops (in English and Spanish) focused on specific strategies to respond to Sexual Harassment and Bullying, and skills in confident assertiveness. It was also a great chance to connect with other labor sisters!

WILD in the Winter WEST, in Amherst:
Saturday, March 13th
Co-sponsored by the UMass Amherst Labor Extension Program
8:30am-1:30pm
UMass Labor Center, Gordon Hall
418 N. Pleasant St., Amherst

Participants were inspired to stand up against bullying when you see it in the workplace.  Workshops (in English and Spanish) taught more about what unions do, and taught skills in confident assertiveness. This event was also a great opportunity to connect with other labor sisters!

Both events were offered for a nominal registration fee of $20, thanks to the generosity of our supporters!
