Flight Centre embroiled in bullying case

Legal action has been filed against travel agency Flight Centre, which is facing claims it ignored workplace bullying against a female employee.
Lawyers filed an action under the Fair Work Act's adverse action provisions in the
Federal Court yesterday, 14 May 2012.
Employment law principal at Maurice Blackburn, Josh Bornstein, said the adverse action
provisions play an important function in protecting whistleblowers from victimisation
and retribution.
"In this case, our client blew the whistle on extreme bullying behaviour at Flight
Centre and, as a result, was victimised, demoted and ultimately lost his career with
the company," Bornstein said.
