Dear Colleagues,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After nearly two years of advocating for changes to the Workplace Violence Policy, the UUP Buffalo Center Chapter is very happy to see that the university has revised the policy to the new Workplace Violence and Bullying Prevention Policy<\/strong> announced earlier this week.

Of specific note are the revisions made to the Policy Statement: \u201cActs or threats, made directly or indirectly, intended to intimidate, harass, threaten, bully, coerce, or cause fear of harm; these may include physical acts (e.g., lunging, throwing objects) or verbal acts (e.g., yelling, threatening future harm)\u201d; as well as the inclusion of the definition of \u201cBullying\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chapter is proud that our members voices were influential in the development of this revised policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chapter would like to thank all the members who provided input during the 30-day review period. A review period that was reported to have the largest number of staff input in recent memory.  The Chapter would also like to specifically thank those members who kept this issue in focus, and moving through the process, to help establish a more relevant policy when it comes to workplace environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you missed the announcement from earlier this week, the policy can be found here: https:\/\/www.buffalo.edu\/administrative-services\/policy1\/ub-policy-lib\/workplace-violence-prevention.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Solidarity,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
