    Quebec squares off against bullies By WALLACE IMMEN, The Globe and Mail
    Companies are scrambling to comply with a new law against workplace 'psychological harassment'-- the only one of its kind in North America -- that goes into effect Tuesday.

    Union leaders say the Quebec law and pressure from employees will make psychological harassment clauses a priority in bargaining for future collective agreements across Canada.

    "This is going to raise the level of consciousness about people's right to harassment-free workplaces. People are not going to put up with it anywhere," says Gary Cwitko, Toronto-based national representative of the Communications, Energy & Paperworkers Union of Canada.
