A PSA South Australia industrial officer who claimed the union decided against extending her contract because she complained about a bullying colleague has lost her adverse action claim.
A nurse and one-time member of the ANMF Victorian branch council has this week learned his quest to topple the union's incumbent leadership fell flat, had his bid to establish a rival union knocked out, and failed to convince a FWC member to recuse herself from dealing with his bullying claim.
A commissioner who holds 200 Woolworths shares has refused to recuse herself from an anti-bullying case involving the supermarket giant, because the amount of shares she owns is insignificant.
The FWC has rejected a bullying complaint after finding the Department of Finance put the worker on a three-day week, while he recovered from a previous "toxic" job, so he could spend the other two days "trying to resolve his workplace grievances".
The FWC has reinstated a "careless" Qube stevedore accused of telling a colleague he put his c-ck in their Subway sandwich and calling another a c-nt, while already on a warning for showing pictures of bikini-clad female colleagues to male co-workers.
A Victorian corruption watchdog operative's "reckless and unsafe" close pursuit of a Mercedes fleeing a minor accident warranted his dismissal, the FWC has ruled.
A worker who made unfounded bullying complaints against 11 alleged perpetrators, including a senior HR manager, two HR team members, a safety specialist and an in-house lawyer has been castigated by the FWC for putting his colleagues through an "ordeal" and advised to refrain from making any further "baseless" complaints.
In a decision illustrating the challenges of managing high-performing employees, a member of Woolworths' e-commerce team has failed to persuade the FWC that her manager and supervisor bullied her during a tense period sparked by receiving a lower annual rating than usual.
An aged care employer's investigation into allegations made against a worker amounted to reasonable management action, rather than inconsistent treatment because the worker is transgender, a fact the employer only became aware of during proceedings.
