No. I'm saying that a law that protects people with mental health issues, will cause employers to hire less people that are prone to mental health issues. That's basic logic.

Then my statement would also be true.

No. Sexual harassment is a result of a trasable act. Ex. I touch your butt. Mental health is a result of multiplicity of acts, factors, and events. If I say you're ugly, you may or may not get suicidal, that depends on how other aspects of your life influence my statement. Aspects that I don't know of because it's part of your private life.

This bill goes after behaviors, so it shouldn’t matter. But we can agree to disagree.

The matter persist. It's not traceable, due to the multiplicity of factors and events that affects mental health issues. With our current knowledge of social behavior you can't say with exactitude how much does work influence the mental health problem and how much is it influence by factors outside of work. If the workplace is just the last drop, will you appoint all the liability to the workplace or only 1% of the guilt? Let's say I hire a new guy. He had some underlying mental health issues that no one knows about. Then I say something that cause him to go suicidal. A prima facie is my fault, but in reality I was just the very small tiping point. How can you evaluate if I share just 1% or 100% of the fault.

That’s not how the bill is designed though. It focuses on employer behavior and holds them accountable for it, regardless of health harm and just like sexual harassment law.
One-Coast8927 t1_isoj38v wrote
But the behavior is subjective. I may say or do something not cover on the bill at prima facie, that causes mental health issues on some people.

That’s why we’ve covered the most common abuse tactics in the bill.
One-Coast8927 t1_isojfgl wrote
Even if you cover them, the common ones in the bill are still covered under harrasment laws.

That’s not true.

And is not like sexual harrasment at all. So stop comparing it to it.

It is, but I’m not going to continue this conversation is you’re not actually interested in keeping an open mind. Take care.
