I was told “get over it” [and] “all apprentices are treated like that.” - Māori male who was working in the construction sector “I was given the role of forklift driver until the bully got her correct license, I was casual staff at the time, this person was continually loud - screaming, shouting, yelling, constantly angry for no obvious reason. She would try to sabotage me while driving, for example, throwing pallets behind the forklift when she thought I couldn’t see her, trying to cause accidents.
