Duty to Accommodate

Learn about the rights and responsibilities of both employers and unions under the Duty to Accommodate. This workshop will:

  • Explore the case law, key concepts and the prohibited grounds of discrimination under human rights laws.
  • Show you how to make the case for accommodating workers and help union reps and employers come up with appropriate accommodations for members.
  • Look at how we can break down stereotypes and stigmas and help bring other union members on board to support the accommodation process for thoses who neet it.

Steward Learning Series: Being An Ally for Equality

Championing human rights in the workplace and the union is an important role for stewards. But what does it really mean to be a good ally?

In response to the health concerns of our members and staff, CUPE has implemented a Scent-Free Policy at all of our workshops.  Scented products such as hair spray, perfume and deodorant can trigger reactions such as respiratory distress and headaches.  Facilitators and participants are asked to refrain from using scented products while attending our workshops and meetings.  Thank you for your cooperation.
