PLEA gratefully acknowledges our primary core funder the Law Foundation of Saskatchewan for their continuing and generous support of our organization.
GOALS
This information is for employees who work in unionized workplaces.
Workers in unionized workplaces are covered by collective agreements. Harassment can be a breach of the collective agreement.
If harassment results in a breach of the collective agreement the union can make a grievance.
Unions have a duty act fairly and honestly when representing workers dealing with a breach of the collective agreement.
When a grievance cannot be resolved through the efforts of the union and management, or management refuses to act, the union can decide to take the grievance to arbitration. Arbitration is the final step in the grievance process.
In addition to grieving a breach of the collective agreement, workers in unionized workplaces have many of the same rights workers have in other workplaces with some exceptions.
The Saskatoon and Regina public libraries are hosting free Law Fairs to help people learn about their legal rights/responsibilities and connect with legal information and support. In Saskatoon, check out the free screening of The Good Canadian presented by Legal Aid Saskatchewan. There's lots to see and do during the 11th annual Saskatchewan Access to Justice (SKA2J) Week!
