Workplace bullying is an unlawful act.

WE DEMAND JUSTICE FOR EVAN
On March, 9, 2021, Evan Seyfried, 40, took his own life due to extreme and brutal harassment from two store managers and co-workers at a Kroger location in Milford, OH, where he was employed for 19 years. Kroger failed to protect Evan.
We want justice for Evan Seyfried, his family, his friends, and his co-workers on the 1st anniversary of his death. RSVP to a local event using the form. If you do not see one near you and would like to plan one, email info@workplacebullyingcoaltion.org. Simply choose your nearest State House or court house, let us know the location, bring a sign, and we'll get the word out. After you RSVP, a local State Team Lead will reach out to you with the specific details for your state. We cannot do this without YOU to help get #justiceforevan!
EMPLOYEES SPEAK OUT
Targets of abuse at work are sharing experiences of mistreatment, discrimination, harassment, and retaliation to reveal widespread practices, lack of employer accountability, and the systemic nature of abuse.
We call on lawmakers and agencies to investigate employers in which this number of employees came forward.
