Legislative Update

Massachusetts legislators hear pitch for

law targeting workplace bullying

With information by Colleen Quinn on www.MassLive.com, 7/15/11

While laws have been passed in Massachusetts to target bullying in schools,now a new bill will focus on workplace bullying.

The Healthy Workplace Bill would clearly define bullying and make it illegalfor employees or colleagues to bully one another. "We neglected to acknowl-edge that bullying is not restricted to our children," said State Rep. FrankSmizik (D-Brookline), the bill's sponsor. Several victims of workplace bully-ing spoke to members of the Joint Committee on Labor and Workforce Development recently. Employees told lawmakers that the emotional andphysical stress from bullying has led them to suffer a great deal. Those thatspoke had previously experienced bullying in regards to race, medical conditions and more.

Several lawmakers also testified in support of House Bill 2310 and SenateBill 916. State Sen. Katherine Clark (D-Melrose) said that close to one-thirdof all workers have suffered from some type of workplace bullying. Addition-ally, workplace bullying is four times more likely to happen than sexual harassment.

"High unemployment rates only make this situation worse," Clark said, not-ing that many employees will stay in a bad situation as opposed to being outof work.

Currently, 19 other states are considering similar proposals.Attendees at the Annual Public SafetyLuncheon in June were treated to a per-formance by Retired Massachusetts PoliceSergeant Daniel M. Clark, aka “The SingingTrooper,” who opened the event.

Congratulations to Mario Colangelo!

Mario was the high bidder for the Chapter's full seminar admittance to the annual ASIS convention in Orlando next month. This ticket was auctioned to benefit our Manning Scholarship Fund.

Shortly thereafter, from 1995 to 1996, Harold was the Acting Police Commissioner. In 1996 he resumed the position of Superintendent until heretired in 2002. Throughout his tenure with the Cambridge Police, Haroldwas instrumental in starting and continuing a monthly dialog between theDepartment and the security managers in the City of Cambridge. Duringthese meetings, information on threats and vulnerabilities were shared incollaboration between the public and private sectors.

Since Harold retired from the Cambridge Police Department, he has continued to be involved in many organizations, such as the FBI NationalAcademy Associates. This worldwide association provides its nearly 17,000members with continuing education, training, research and professional development opportunities in law enforcement disciplines, including im-proved cooperation, services and standards of professional conduct at all levels. Harold serves as Secretary Treasurer for the New England Chapter.

Harold has been an active participant in the ASIS Boston Chapter for morethan 20 years. He has been, and continues to be, an incredible asset to thisChapter and to the Society. He is always willing to help, but never quick tocall attention to his actions. He ensures new members are warmly welcomedand is always available to provide a resource for a meeting or training session. Harold never says “no,” but rather presents us with exceptionalspeakers we would not normally have access to. He continually goes aboveand beyond to assist anyone in need, and actively supports the mission ofASIS International.
