1. Lobby Days I –January 30 & 31, 2011

Our first of three lobby day events will be on January 30 & 31, 2012 in Albany, NY. NYHWA will have two experienced teams and may add a third to meet with as many legislators as possible to update them on developments on this issue since our last visit. As we get closer to the event, we will send an email for people willing to come for part of a day, a full day or both days of the event to talk about their experience as a target of workplace bullying.

2. NYHWA Facebook page

NYHWA now has a Facebook page at: http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/nyhwa/. Our purpose for the page is to educate people on different aspects of workplace bullying, types of workplace bullies and issues facing employees and employers in the workplace. Feel free to browse or join and add comments and other sources of information.

4. NYHWA Talk in Connecticut

5. Healthy Workplace Bill T-Shirts

NYHWA will be making available T-shirts that highlight the efforts of the Healthy Workplace Bill. The T-shirts will have the following message on them: "Support the Healthy Workplace Bill in New York" with the NYHWA.ORG underneath. We estimate the cost per T-shirt will be approximately $15-20 which should including shipping. The shirts will be "Made in the USA" and of good quality. NYHWA is interested in identifying interest and sizes of these T-shirts as we look for a vendor that meets our parameters. We are not using the T-shirts as any type of fund raising and only look to recoup our costs of what the vendor charges and shipping. If you are interested in purchasing one, send an email to info@nyhwa.org and we will confirm your interest and make arrangements to have them sent to you.
