But the virus can be caught many ways, such as through poorly sterilized medi- cal equipment. And symptoms of hepatitis C can be minor or not present at all, so while a simple blood test may provide answers, it's often not done because people aren't aware they are at risk. As a re- sult, the virus can go undetected NEWS BRIEF Prices > pg. 8 HIGH COST OF INJURY Workers who suffer a permanent injury on the job are much more likely to die prematurely, according to an IWH study pg. 2 ANGRY PHONE CALLS pg. 3 Despite harassing and verbally abusing other employees, a worker shouldn't have been dismissed from his job, according to an arbitrator looking at a case involving CPR DO EAPS REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

"While unexpected, we certainly respect Chris' decision," 49ers gen- eral manager Trent Baalke said in a statement. "I just want to live a long, healthy life and I don't want to have any neurological diseases or die young- er than I would otherwise," Borland told ESPN. Head trauma is an issue that has rattled the league and prompted a massive lawsuit against the NFL. A class-action lawsuit involv- ing thousands of former players, fi led in 2012, contended that the league hid the dangers of brain in- jury among players while profi ting from the sport's violent physical contact. There have been suicides in recent years by former NFL play- ers. In February, a U.S. judge refused to accept a proposed settlement between the NFL and the players, saying payment should be expand- ed for some players and families among other concerns.

Whether it's increased stress claims, a toxic work culture, high turnover or all of the above, the negative impacts of bullying can be challenging and costly for an organization.
