This 1 1/2 day conference sponsored by the Ontario Federation of Labour's (OFL)
Women’s Committee and Health and Safety Committee will highlight violence as
an occupational hazard specifically in the health care and education
sectors.
A
plenary session Friday evening—January 20 will feature speakers who will discuss
other provinces' legislative approaches to workplace violence, the importance of
bargaining language in Collective Agreements to recognize and address workplace
violence, and outline links between domestic violence and the workplace.
Saturday participants will explore the issues related to violence in the
workplace, understand the importance of strengthening links between unions,
women's rights activists and health and safety activists to address violence in
the workplace, and reinforce the need for political action to pressure the
government to take action on the issues related to violence in the workplace.
