Using curriculum developed by the CLC Women’s and Human Rights Department and Western University, in partnership with a community-based violence prevention organization, this two-day workshop explores the ways that union members can support those experiencing domestic violence.
The workshop is an opportunity for those attending to:
- Gain a deeper understanding of the dynamics of domestic violence at work and the role of the union and employer in addressing it.
- Learn ways to best support members who may be experiencing domestic violence, including how to recognize and respond to the warning signs and risk factors.
- Discuss ways to build awareness about domestic violence at work among their membership.
- Practice delivering the one-hour “What everyone needs to know” awareness presentation.
- Learn about referral pathways to community-based experts
This two-day workshop is intended for shop stewards or OH&S stewards who have attended either an introductory OH&S workshop or an introductory shop steward course, and who have at least two years of experience as a shop steward or OH&S steward in their workplace.
