| My son is in his last year of a mechanical apprenticeship and has had to leave his place of employment due to a service managers bullying which has driven him to the point of suicide. I have contacted his employer and the relevant authorities but I plan to bring this situation to light within our community as I feel that when dealt with by courts the employers get a slap on the wrists and are free to do it again. I have been notified that my sons case isnt an isolated incident within this company and its branches. His service manager is a die hard liberal supporter and has said that its the liberal was or no way. I believe workchoices gave these people a licence to kill and boy are they doing a good job at it. I would like to know what my rights are in the area of protesting and if its legal for me to do so. I am more than willing to stand outside this business with a sign to highlight to others the goings on in this business. I also feel strongly that if breaches are found by the relevant authorities that there should be a notional data base to people can check to see if they think that they'd be able to work for that particular employer. This is espeacially important for younger workers. If another younger person who was living away from home had been in my sons situation and not had family support they could well become the next suicide statstic. We need to protect our kids, they're our future. Any ideas you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
