Workplace Harassment Support
You don’t have to accept workplace harassment
Workplace harassment is damaging, distressing, and far more common than many people realise. Across the UK, workers experience bullying, intimidation, discrimination, and inappropriate behaviour that affects their health, confidence, and long-term career prospects. Too often, individuals suffer in silence due to uncertainty about their rights or fear of negative consequences for speaking up.
The Workers Union exists to ensure that no worker faces harassment alone. We provide clear, professional support to help stop unacceptable behaviour, guide you through formal processes, and ensure your employer understands their legal responsibilities.
Workplace harassment is damaging – but you’re not alone
Harassment at work can lead to anxiety, depression, reduced productivity, and in some cases long-term absence from employment. UK law provides strong protections, but navigating policies, procedures, and formal complaints can feel overwhelming without expert guidance.
The Workers Union supports workers across all sectors by offering practical advice, structured support, and access to experienced professionals who understand how harassment cases are handled in real workplaces.
Types of Harassment We Support
Bullying from management
Repeated aggressive behaviour, intimidation, unfair criticism, or creating a hostile working environment that undermines your dignity at work.

Your Next Steps – What to do Now
You are protected
UK law makes workplace harassment and retaliation unlawful. If you have raised concerns and are treated unfairly as a result, that behaviour itself may constitute a further legal breach. The Workers Union ensures employers understand that you are supported, informed, and prepared to pursue appropriate action where necessary.

Most workplace harassment situations are reportable and unlawful. Our advisors assess your circumstances carefully and explain your options once you join.
Employers are legally prohibited from retaliating against workers who raise harassment concerns. If retaliation occurs, it becomes an additional protected issue.
From initial consultation to resolution, cases typically progress within 4 to 8 weeks, depending on complexity and employer response.
We help you make it clear that the behaviour must be addressed. Employers respond more decisively when workers are professionally supported.
