Here’s why: In 1946, Justice Ivan Rand issued a landmark legal decision following a strike involving 17,000 Ford\nworkers in Windsor, Ontario. As part of the settlement to the labour dispute, Rand granted the union the compulsory check-\noff of union dues. Rand ruled that all workers in a bargaining unit benefited from a union-negotiated contract, and therefore\nshould pay union dues, although they did not have to join the union.\nThis decision means that unless workers sign a union card, they are considered a RAND, and they are not members of the\nunion. This also means RAND workers cannot run for or hold union office, cannot vote for the election of their union\nrepresentatives, cannot submit bargaining demands, cannot grieve unless it is for a matter related to the collective\nagreement, cannot have union representation on any issue not related to the collective agreement, and cannot take\nadvantage of membership benefits negotiated by the union for its members.", + "history": "", + "last_amended": "2023", + "in_force": "", + "status": "in force", + "current_to": "2023", + "citation": "CIU Elections Kit, part 1", + "source_url": "https://www.ciu-sdi.ca/wp-content/uploads/elections/2023/EN/elections-kit.pdf" + }, + { + "id": "ciu-elections-kit-2", + "doc_type": "union", + "act_code": "CIU-ELECTIONS-KIT", + "act_short": "CIU Elections Kit", + "act_name": "CIU Branch Elections Kit", + "section": "part 2", + "marginal_note": "", + "part": "CIU Elections Kit", + "division": "", + "heading": "", + "text": "To be able to cast a vote, any one worker belonging to a union’s bargaining unit must become a member of the union by\ncompleting, signing, and returning a membership application card.\nMEMBERS IN GOOD STANDING\nMembers in good standing are the only ones who can either run for election or vote.

Here are some tips:\nA five-step strategy for giving effective support\n(Adapted from Crisis Intervention Strategies by Burl Gilliland and Richard James)\n1. Ensure safety: When people are in crisis or conflict, it is very\nimportant to help them feel safe. Make sure to meet them in a place\nwhere they can talk freely and in confidence. If a worker feels at risk\nin any way, you need to do your best to accommodate them and\nensure that they feel secure.\n2. Define the problem: Your first task is to understand the problem\nfrom the worker’s point of view. To do this, you need to listen to their\nstory with empathy, genuineness and without judgment.

It goes without saying that the details of\nthe grievor’s case must remain confidential. You must do a thorough\ninvestigation, but the contents of the investigation are only for the eyes\nand ears of those who truly need to know.\nGet documentation. Many grievances are unsuccessful because there\naren’t enough documented facts. Remember: if it isn’t written down,\nit doesn’t have much strength. Get paper copies of everything that is\npertinent to your case.\nUseful documents include statements, leave records, performance\nappraisals, and a worker’s disciplinary record (it may be necessary for the\ngrievor to view their personnel file).\nIf your investigation involves witnesses, get signed statements whenever\npossible.\nTake some time to research other similar grievances that were successful.\nThis will help you build your case and will help prepare your grievor\nfor possible outcomes.

When you\nare finished the interview, go over your notes with the grievor and\nmake sure that they are accurate and thorough.

Or what failed to happen? What did the\nworker(s) do or not do? What did management do or not do?\n3. What should have happened? Did something happen in the past\nthat could be seen as a precedent?\n4. When did the incident happen? Remember to record date\nand time.\n5. Where did the incident(s) take place? Be specific!\n6. Why is this incident a grievance? Ask the grievor to provide you\nwith a written, signed and dated statement with the full story, noting\nincident(s), names, dates, places and witnesses.

This is when\nthe employer ignores or transgresses an article in the collective\nagreement (CA).\n2. The employer violates past practice. When management does\nsomething or allows something to happen for a long time and then\nall of a sudden changes the rules, you can file a grievance based on\npast practice.\n3. Management violates its own responsibilities. If management\nbreaks its own rules or does not fulfill its responsibilities and this has\nan adverse affect on workers, it could be the basis for a grievance.\n4. Management breaks the law. Your CA will contain provisions\npertaining to these laws. Remember that when it comes to criminal\nmatters, you can file a complaint with the police at same time as filing\na grievance. But it is very important to respect grievance timelines.\nThe same considerations apply when filing a complaint with a\nprovincial human rights commission.\nRemember: Just because something isn’t in the CA doesn’t mean it can’t\nbe grieved.

Everyone benefits when you solve a problem\nin a timely fashion. You can do this by meeting informally with\nmanagement before or instead of filing a grievance.\nTo be effective at informal problem solving, you should follow all the\nrules of filing a grievance – be extremely well prepared, stick to the\nfacts and know your bottom line.\n2. Consider alternative dispute resolution. You may decide that\nmediation may serve the worker better than a formal grievance\nprocess. All you need to do is notify the employer in writing that you\nare planning to put the grievance in abeyance (on hold) until the\nsituation is resolved to the satisfaction of the grievor.\nRemember: the grievor can stop mediation and activate the grievance\nprocess at any time.\n3. File a policy grievance on behalf of the union. In some cases,\nworkers whose rights have clearly been violated are hesitant to file\na grievance. It is dangerous for the union to do nothing in these\nsituations. If another member faces a similar problem in the future,\na labour arbitrator could accuse the union of having done nothing in\nthe past. You may be able to file a grievance on behalf of the union\neven if the worker does not want to participate.\nEven if you decide not to file a grievance, it is a good idea to notify\nthe employer in writing that the union objects to its conduct.

It’s about changing workplace culture and hiring\npractices so that members of these groups get jobs they\nare qualified to do and they can fully contribute to the\nworkplace. Employment equity recognizes that women,\nAboriginal peoples, racialized people, and people with\ndisabilities are often held back – not because they lack\nability – but because of things that are unrelated to their\nability.

It also covers\nbusinesses or organizations that have large contracts with\nthe federal government ($200,000 or more with over 100\nemployees). In provincial and territorial workplaces, such\nas school, hospitals, municipalities, and others, employment\nequity is not specifically mandated under law but it can\nbe put into place by employers voluntarily (it is specifically\npermitted under human rights laws).\n• HOW does it work? An employer must analyze its\nworkforce, its policies and practices, and put into place an\nemployment equity plan that sets out measures to address\nbarriers and under-representation of designated groups.\nMore information is included in the document “Employment\nEquity: How Does it Work?”\nEMPLOYMENT EQUITY:\nWHAT IS IT?\nWhat is employment equity?\nAnswers to Key Questions\n• WHAT is it?: A program of proactive, positive measures\ndesigned to: 1) increase the representation of people from the four\n“designated groups” in the workplace to a level that reflects their\navailability in the labour market; and 2) to identify and eliminate\nartificial barriers in the workplace that prevent designated group\nmembers from accessing jobs, promotions, training, etc..\n• WHO is covered?

Employment equity is a proactive way of addressing\nsystemic discrimination in the workplace.\n• Note that although gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans workers also face\nemployment barriers and discrimination in the workplace, they are\nnot currently included under employment equity legislation. There is\na need for more data and information on this group of workers (for\nexample in the Census) in order to determine whether and/or how\nthey should be included as a “designated group”.\n8 • EMPLOYMENT EQUITY A TOOL KIT FOR PSAC MEMBERS • 9\nEMPLOYMENT EQUITY:\nSOME FACTS AND FIGURES\nDid you know...?\n• Currently, racialized people (“visible minorities”) represent about\n16% the Canadian population.

The employment\nequity plan will include short term and long term\ngoals (not quotas) for workplace representation from\neach designated group, measures that will be taken to\naddress barriers, and measures for accommodation.\nSTEP 4: Review and Revision:\n• Employment equity plans are usually 1 to 3 year plans\nthat must be reviewed and revised periodically. Once\nthe previous plan is expired, another analysis will be\ndone of the organization’s progress and another plan\ncreated, and so on.\nONGOING REQUIREMENTS:\nThroughout all of their work on implementing employment equity,\nthe employer must communicate with employees and engage in\nconsultation and collaboration with workplace unions and\nemployees from the designated groups.\n10 • EMPLOYMENT EQUITY A TOOL KIT FOR PSAC MEMBERS • 11\n• Over half of recent immigrants to Canada have university\ndegrees, versus only 20% of the Canadian-born population.", + "history": "", + "last_amended": "2012", + "in_force": "", + "status": "in force", + "current_to": "2012", + "citation": "CIU EE Toolkit, part 4", + "source_url": "https://ciu-sdi.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/EMPLOYMENT-EQUITY-Tool-Kit-e.pdf" + }, + { + "id": "ciu-guide-ee-5", + "doc_type": "union", + "act_code": "CIU-GUIDE-EE", + "act_short": "CIU EE Toolkit", + "act_name": "CIU Employment Equity Toolkit", + "section": "part 5", + "marginal_note": "", + "part": "CIU EE Toolkit", + "division": "", + "heading": "", + "text": "The unemployment rate for university-educated recent\nimmigrants is 4 times that of university-educated Canadian born.\n• In 2009, the unemployment rate for Aboriginal peoples living\noff-reserve was 14%, compared to 8% for the non-Aboriginal\npopulation.\nSources: Statistics Canada (various sources); Treasury Board Secretariat,\nEmployment Equity in the Public Service of Canada 2009-10; Human Resources\nand Skills Development Canada, Employment Equity Act: Annual Report 2009;\nPublic Service Employee Survey 2008\n• In 2009-10 only 2.5% of new hires into the federal public service\nwere people with disabilities, as compared to their workforce\navailability of 4%.\n• People with disabilities represented only 2.7% of workers in the\nfederal private sector as of 2008.\n• In the 2008 Public Service Employee Survey, about half of\nemployees with disabilities reported that they had experienced\nharassment in the workplace.\n• Although women make up about 55% of all employees in the\nfederal public service, they are mostly employed in Administrative\nSupport, where they represent 80% of workers.

Minister of Transportation and Minister of\nGovernment Services (Settlement, H.R.T.O. 2006)\nA settlement was reached in a complaint about changing the sex\ndesignation on a driver’s licence and birth certificate, before having sex\nreassignment surgery. The Ministry of Transportation had a practice (but\nnot a written policy) whereby it would only change the sex designation\non a driver’s licence after a person had surgery.\nWith respect to changing the sex designation on a birth certificate, the\nVital Statistics Act requires that a person have “transsexual surgery”\nin order to get the designation changed. There is no definition of\n“transsexual surgery” in the Act. Historically, the Ministry (now called\nGovernment Services) assumed t\nhat the required surgery was genital sex\nreassignment surgery.\nAs a result of this settlement, the Ministry of Transportation will now\nchange the sex designation on a driver’s licence if a physician provides\na letter advising that the physician has treated or examined the person\nand in the practitioner’s opinion the change on the licence would be\nappropriate.

We members of PFLAG, easy to spot with our sensible\nfootwear and clothing, wearing sun-hats, provided an amusing\ncontrast to many of the parade onlookers and participants, especially\nthe spirited delegates from TNT (Totally Nude Toronto)\nd\nangling their\nparticiples a few units behind us.\nThe life path that took me to this in-your-face street party was one\nthat I never would have imagined almost three years earlier.

And it changed\neverything.\nOur love for him was undiminished,\nb\nut our memories were\nambushed.\nThe photos and family portraits of this blond, blue-eyed child\nprovided no “clues” to our son’s new (to us) identity. Even the\nrecollection of our obstetrician’s first words -- “Congratulations, you\nhave a girl!” -- were difficult to reconcile.\nFor months after our son’s revelation, I was yanked between elation\nand grief.

Our son and his younger sister learned the hard way that\nproclamations of unconditional love are not always what they seem.\nThat jolt of intolerance awakened my inner angry mama-bear. It\ndistressed me that some people were so fixated with the plumbing\nbelow the belt that they ignored the human heart beating in my\nchild’s chest.\nThe idea of forming a support group for the parents of trans children\nbegan to wriggle its way into my brain.
