In the context of bullying and harassment (in any industry not just legal, and particularly in publicly funded organisations) that WorkSafe has failed to investigate, this type of misconduct is a symptom of widespread dishonest practices by a minority of employment lawyers who exploit loopholes in the ERA (2000) by way of mediation stitch-ups, usurious costs awards and in extreme cases, SLAPPs. We consider WorkSafe's admission that the threshold has been too high, as a breakthrough (LA comment). https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/120145003/worksafe-admits-threshold-for-investigating-bullying-harassment-is-too-high
