DUTY TO ACCOMMODATE

DUTY TO ACCOMMODATE
Workshop for members with an interest in learning more about how to
support members to obtain accommodations in the workplace.
Facilitated by Tony Head and Mira Lewis
This workshop is for members who have an interest in learning about how to better support
members who are seeking an accommodation at work. We will learn about the extent of the
employer's Duty to Accommodate based on human rights legislation, the prohibited grounds of
discrimination that must be accommodated, the types of accommodations that can be sought, and
the union's role in upholding the duty of fair representation. Participants will be able to answer:
What is a "BFOR"? A "Prima facie" case? "Undue Hardship"? and understand how they each fit into
protecting our members rights and promoting inclusive workplaces.
