Edward Stern

Edward Stern served the U.S. Department of Labor for 40+ years as a senior economist and policy/program analyst.

He wrote the workplace bullying and psychological aggression chapter of “Halt the Violence” (e-book, Amazon). He is a researcher and advisor on workplace bullying to management and labor, and an accepted, expert witness on bullying in arbitration cases.
