Susan Rohrbach brings to the Massachusetts Healthy Workplace Bill campaign some 40 years of professional experience in healthcare and higher education work settings.

Susan’s commitment to this effort stems from having witnessed and experienced bullying at work and learning that current employment protections provide no direct legal remedy for this form of interpersonal workplace abuse.
