rave review

[Daryl X.]

Hi, Victor,

I'm so sorry for all you've been going through! And I'm sorry I skipped past this topic, too. The poem you wrote summing things up is amazing! So concise and powerful!!

I'm so glad there are government laws and union rules to protect you, though obviously the execution is human and prone to being manipulated and/or run by the bullies themselves or people who do nothing.

I think you're handling this all perfectly. Keep being persistent and relentless about getting fair treatment. It is what you deserve and are entitled to.

I'm having ongoing problems being bullied, too. I found some comfort at www.bullyonline.org. Though it does nothing to stop the actual bullying, I hope it'll let you see yourself in a deservedly positive light, as we are targeted for having good qualities:

"The six most common reasons bullies select their targets are because of availability (wrong place, wrong time), competence (envy), popularity (jealousy), vulnerability (income and the need to pay the mortgage), emotional maturity and values, and integrity. Targets represent everything that bullies are not, and never will be."

"Targets of bullying have no interest in power or exercising power. They go to work to work and they are not interested in office politics or conflict. Targets of bullying have high moral values, a well-developed integrity, a vulnerability (eg need to pay the mortgage), a strong sense of fair play and reasonableness, a low propensity to violence, a reluctance to pursue grievance, disciplinary or legal action, a strong forgiving streak and a mature understanding of the need to resolve conflict with dialogue. Weak people disingenuously confuse these hallmarks of character with weakness. Targets of bullying will withstand daily abuse for months, often years, but the first time a bully gets a taste of their own medicine they immediately run whingeing to authority demanding protection. That's weakness."

thank you for those excellent sentiments, Daryl X.

i have passed them on to other bully targets.

very uplifting and encouraging.

good news, the cops told me that they were going to have a word with the aggressor. a gentle reminder about civilization and the rule of law.

i hope that is enough to cool this situation off.

 

[victor-victim]

thank for your thoughts, tbkkfile.

the police are involved and they are taking care of it.

it would seem that our local union is broken.

thanks for the peace, strength and support.

much needed and appreciated.

i am almost certain that i will never hear from these bullies again.
one can dream

 

[victor-victim]

the business agent has resigned. the president has been suspended. the dispatcher has been fired. the contract has been rejected. the membership has ordered a full investigation to be completed by next month. two executive members are facing charges. the whole thing just blew up!

 

[traveler]

so - do you get any kind of compensation or benefits from this?

how do you feel about it - Vindicated?

[victor-victim]

all this purge happened just so that the union can go after the employer/company. they were being protected by certain influential insiders.
the collaborators had to be removed. it was an unfortunate and unexpected obstacle. the whole conspiracy became exposed and now they are being investigated from multiple parties. there was some form of collusion or corruption and money was involved, according to the allegations, which did not come from me. my event was tied into a whole series of other incidents and events and people that were also seeking compensation and justice. the overlapping connected conflicts of interests were impacting and hurting many of the members. ultimately my situation was only a sideshow attraction to the main event. there are far more serious issues involved. this will all come out in the report, or there will be some new coverup scheme from the new regime.

only time will tell.

i will not be vindicated until the "unfit for duty" stuff has been expunged from my files, which the new leader has promised me. i had a clean record, and i want it back. i take no joy in my opponent's distress. i seek due process, fair judgement, justice, balance, restoration, restitution, reconciliation, and resolution. in one word... peace.

i will let you know when i have it.

 

[victor-victim]

one step closer.

a 31 official page report has been filed and will be presented to the membership at the next general meeting. it contains the details of the incident and the resulting consequences. this official report has completely exonerated me from any wrongdoing whatsoever. thank god that's over. i have been completely cleared. it has condemned the actions of the employer and the union executive. this report was ordered by the membership and commissioned by the executive. it has weight.

i am not sure where things will go from here, but it sure has taken a long time and an incredible amount of effort (i have put in over 500 hours myself) from over a dozen good people to get to the bottom of this violation of rights and miscarriage of justice and conflict of interest and dereliction of duty and denial of due process.
without the voluntary help of these friends and brothers, i would have been obliterated.

now that the truth is being officially recorded and the perpetrators are being punished, i look at the damage and realize that this will never be repaired. the opponent continues to fight with every loophole and legal technicality they can throw out to obstruct and obfuscate, not to mention the other tricks they have pulled 'off the record'. even in the face of complete exposure they are still dangerous.

 

[traveler]

Victor - congrats on the official victory.

i hope you can eventually win the real life freedom from harassment and conflict.

Lee

 

[Nothing Man]

Victor, I am glad that things are starting to work out. You deserve to not be bullied and harassed. You are a good person.

 

[victor-victim]

thanks for the kind words of support, guys!


today i received an official apology and an assurance that there will be every effort made to pursue the employer.

the union has agreed to accept the findings and recommendations of the commissioned report.

little by little, justice and legal order will be restored.
my faith in the union and the labour movement has been largely repaired, but i will not relax until this is totally resolved.
i still do not feel safe. one of my allies was assaulted at work yesterday.

there has been an investigation ordered into the aggressive and menacing and intimidating and assaulting that has been going on.
now that the culprits have been removed from positions of power, they can no longer shut down or obstruct proper investigations into workplace bulling and harassment. over the last year, violence has become a common occurrence on jobsites.

this is not good for anyone, especially the victims.

 

[victor-victim]

i just got certified by my union after completing the first course of a brand new initiative to combat workplace hazards (bullies) that have been causing health issues including suicides. I had no idea this bullying/harassment problem has apparently reached epidemic proportions since we lost our seniority. I was one of the first 20 to receive this. My goal is to make this mandatory requirement for all members.

 

[victor-victim]

incident at the union office.
member denied documents.
bullying and harassment.
lies and disinformation.
abuse and intimidation.
constant contradiction.
meeting ends in assault.
chaos caught on camera.

GOOD NEWS: the co-worker who was assaulted at work by associates of my abusers for supporting my cause, and then fired for reporting the aggression, has just won his case against a major broadcasting network and he has received a substantial sum of cash as compensation for retaliation and wrongful dismissal. hopefully this will deter future bully bosses and inspire other victims to take a stand against illegal and hazardous workplace behaviour.

 

[victor-victim]

government intervention has happened. again.
three more resignations over the past weekend.
elections have been announced.
executive board has been almost entirely overturned.
chaos and crisis.
the good news is... those three are no longer in positions of power and can not cause me any more damage.

more investigations have been ordered.
more charges have been laid.
more trials have been postponed.

another one of my supporters who was fired has now got his job back with the opera. first they fired him. then it went to a suspension. now that is going to go away. he will likely be paid for time not worked. momentum has shifted in our favour. documents have surfaced that confirm the president was fabricating charges against me, using unauthorized union money, and that has resulted in charges. i was not paranoid! it was true! this has completely spun out of control. no one knows when or where it will all come to rest. i am concerned about reprisals and retaliations and revenge. i would rather resolution and reconciliation. there is a lot of resentment and hate and anger out there. i wanted peace, but i have won is victories.
i started out defending my rights and look where it has led to.
political war.

wish me luck. this is not over.

although i have not returned to work due to injuries,
https://www.malesurvivor.org/board/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=474905#Post474905
i have received information that the people responsible for my persecution as well as the retaliation against my supporters have been given a retrial. the provincial government labour division has interfered and intervened in our local union's affairs and overturned our constitutional by-laws, allowing the suspended president to appeal previous decisions. this has set the record back six months.
he is back on the jobsite, today, as department head/crew chief, and today he began harassing and intimidating one of my allies.
one of the owners of the company that fired me, the same guy that telephoned my wife at work four times, who resigned as our union business agent, but later resurfaced as an elected trustee, has already made rude and vaguely threatening remarks to one of the people who spoke in my defense.

 

[OCN]

Hold on there v-v! You shall overcome!

 

[victor-victim]

thank you so much, OCN, for the uplift.
i am gonna need all the help i can get.


THIS JUST HAPPENED! PANIC ATTACK!

[img:right]https://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01494/keyboard-rick_1494174c.jpg[/img] yesterday, the guy who has stood by me and defended my reputation and fought for my rights and spoke out against the injustice and protested my punishment and supported my position. the guy who has already been threatened, intimidated, fired, penalized, punished, harassed, assaulted, on my behalf, as a direct result of his involvement with my situation, and refused to retreat. the guy who is not even my friend, who i never knew until he stood up to condemn the corruption, the guy who has already spent hundreds of his own dollars on documents and legal advice to assist in my struggle...

that guy just received a cryptic anonymous threatening telephone call. the call started with accusations and threats and ended with warnings and an order to "back off!" after which the caller hung up. pure psychological warfare.
this caused him a great deal of stress, and he came to my place to chill. i was very upset. they can't come after me so they go after my associates. this is dirty.
the police are now involved.
so far, no clue who the caller was.

it won't stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Nothing Man]

Victor, people can be relentlessly and endlessly cruel. Stand fast against the evil. I'm in your corner.

[victor-victim]

first day of trials today.
1 room.
3 hours.
10 people.
enmity.
hostility.
hypocrisy.
testimony.
trickery.
cruelty.
grueling.
grilling.
serious.
stress.
sucks.

i kept my cool. on the outside.
but on the inside...
i had to leave and hide in the bathroom to get a grip.
there were moments where i thought i would collapse, or puke, or pass out. anything just to get out of that room.

negative energy cut through with polite procedure and angry outbursts. hidden agendas concealing ulterior motives. moves and countermoves. i just want the truth to surface. whatever that is. while we all muddled our way trough the procedures.
what can i do?
i can only give my point of view. i stood and said what i saw, endured some accusations and allegations, stuck to what i said, stood for what i said. i had to argue against objections to each and every document i entered for submission, successfully. the judges ruled to accept all of them. i had to conduct cross examinations and interrogations of witnesses. i must rely upon the trial board to sift through the evidence, weigh the questions and somehow trust them to come to the right conclusion. reason must prevail where chaos reigns. i can only hope the right guys were selected for the job. i have little faith in people or systems designed by people, having seen many unpredictable and disappointing rulings come from some credible committees.

there are many things i do not understand.
i still cannot figure out the source and cause of all this.
it is highly unlikely that i could predict the outcome.

Insha'Allah
