Mobbing and Straining: Understanding Psychological Violence at Work

Experiencing a situation of constant conflict in the workplace is not just a source of stress, but can turn into a real pathology that undermines the psychophysical health and dignity of the person. When we talk about mobbing and straining, we are referring to harassing conduct that goes beyond simple professional differences of opinion. These are systematic, persecutory, and harmful behaviors that isolate the worker, empty their duties, or subject them to unsustainable pressure. As an expert lawyer in compensation for damages in Milan, Avv. Marco Bianucci deeply understands the delicacy of these dynamics and the devastating impact they can have on the worker's personal and professional life.

The Legal Framework and the Difference Between Mobbing and Straining

Italian law, while not having a specific law that defines mobbing in a unified way, protects the worker through Article 2087 of the Civil Code, which requires employers to protect the physical integrity and moral personality of their employees. Jurisprudence has clearly outlined the boundaries of these situations. Mobbing is characterized by a series of repeated persecutory acts over time, with a precise intent to marginalize the victim. Straining, on the other hand, represents a milder but no less harmful form, characterized by a situation of forced stress, where the harmful action can also be a single or non-continuous event, but with permanent effects on the employee's health. Proving these behaviors requires a meticulous reconstruction of the facts and a solid evidentiary strategy.
