More than three dozen people met last weekend to show their support for victims of workplace bullying.
The gathering followed allegations Hamilton City Council harbours an entrenched culture of bullying and harassment.
Upward of 40 people - private individuals and representatives from various organisations - met to discuss ways to support victims.
Hamilton News understands the man who blew the whistle on the council culture, Allan Halse, was at the meeting. Mr Halse, who is also a PSA union delegate, has been suspended on full pay while the council investigates allegations of serious misconduct against him.
One of the options tabled was to establish a foundation to help fund the fight against workplace bullying.
