Union exposes bullying at the BBC

Bullying is rife at the BBC, according to a survey carried out by media union NUJ. In a nationwide survey of broadcasting journalists, 87% of those who had experienced bullying worked for the corporation. BBC staff said they had endured bullying by managers for years. Several said they had left their jobs. Virtually all said the BBC's procedures for dealing with complaints were totally inadequate.
