True, Cloudbringer it is very difficult and costly that is why most people do not bother. We have a few more laws up here which protect people from being verbally abused or mistreated by their employer. Problem with those cases though it is usually a my word vs. your word and unless there are witnesses it is basically impossible to win.

examples: Any one being dragged into a office every day just to be told they are a failure and useless, screaming and yelling at the employee telling them they are wrong when they were actually right and no apology afterwards, being asked to do unethical things and being screamed at when you refuse, after awhile such an environment does become difficult to work in with such a manager. - In order to win, write down things said with dates and times, ask to record conversations, or just do it anyway (I don't know if it is legal to record conversations without permission but at least you can embarrass them when they deny having said it). Best case scenario is leave and find another job but if the market is tough than might as well bring down the big guy.
