Workplace Bullying Worse Than Sexual Harassment: Study
Court Issues |

Whether it is belittling comments, persistent criticism or withholding resources, bullying at work is more harmful than sexual harassment, according to Canadian research done last year.
It is more difficult for employees to cope with bullying because they have nowhere to turn and no workplace policies or legislation to protect them compared to victims of sexual harassment. Their overall well-being is worse, they are more stressed, angry, anxious, less committed and more likely to quit.
"Bullying can be done in such an insidious way that unless you're the victim, other people don't even know its happening," Sandy Hershcovis, of the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, said in an interview.
"Its really hard to get other people to understand or to try to report it."
If you have reported this type of problem in your workplace with no results, you should hire a labor and employment lawyer. Weinberg Law Firm can assist those in the Plato, Texas area with these problems. The employment attorneys of Weinberg Law Firm can also help with sexual harassment cases. Contact them to discuss your case. |

New High-End Chocolatier Looks Past Economy

The Chicago Tribune reports when Mars Inc. pulled the plug on its short-lived Ethel's Chocolate Lounges in the Chicago area this spring, some read it as a sign that recession-weary consumers have little appetite for reclining in plush purple chairs, eating hand-painted truffles and dipping strawberries in gooey, hot chocolate fondue.
Think again, says newfound chocolatier and small business owner Debra Jenrette.
The former owner of an office equipment firm believes there are plenty of stressed-out folks looking for a little pampering. So, after a yearlong crash course in the art of chocolate -- visiting all manner of luxury chocolate boutiques, working in a handmade -chocolate plant and tasting "more chocolates than you can imagine" -- Jenrette took the plunge. She purchased New York-based Anna Shea Chocolates & Loungefrom its Finnish namesake founder last month and is relocating its headquarters to a South Barrington shopping mall. (Shea is married to Jenrette's nephew, Tim Shea.)

Supreme Court Overturns 75 Mil Malpractice Suit Verdict In NJ
Court Issues |

Last month, the Supreme Court agreed that the Essex County, New Jersey trial jury participating in a medical malpractice case involving an infant's brain damage was influenced by discriminatory sources during the choosing of the jury, thus being opposed to the medical professionals involved, as well as to Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, according to the Associated Press.
The Court ruled that this case requires another trial, since there is no way of knowing who the biased jurors were during this case thus the case requires another hearing before a final verdict can be reached. This was the largest New Jersey medical malpractice case in the history of the state.
New York-based lawyer John Q. Kelly and his law firm can assist you if you find yourself needing a medical malpractice or brain injury lawyer. They can also assist you with cases involving catastrophic injury, electrocution and wrongful death. They have many high profile cases and clients, including the estate of Natalee Holloway and O.J.
