Report of the Ad-Hoc Harassment / Violence in the Workplace Committee

Ken Bye

The Committee reviewed and discussed the CRA’s Harassment Policy, Part XX of the Canada Labour Code Regulations, the Ad Hoc Committee recommendation to Council in June 2013 and the CFIA Court case concerning harassment and violence in the workplace. The Committee discussed in length whether or not UTE still requires a standing Harassment Committee in light of our position and the Court’s determination that violence in the workplace included incidents of harassment.
