The Legal Landscape of Workplace Bullying in the Restaurant Industry

In the American restaurant industry, workplace cyberbullying has become a prevalent issue affecting employees. While there are currently no specific laws in the United States that explicitly address workplace bullying, certain legal avenues may still apply to combat such behavior. Federal and state employment laws typically focus on protected characteristics like race, religion, age, or disability concerning workplace conduct. Although employees may not have a direct legal recourse against bullying, laws aimed at ensuring a safe work environment, tort law, or criminal law might offer protection.
