Thank you.
The Steelworkers submits that workplace violence and harassment can only be effectively and meaningfully addressed where this and other specific statutory duties are established, including a requirement that every employer should be required by law to prepare workplace harassment and violence policies that address domestic violence and its impact on the workplace. We submit that the Canada Labour Code should be amended to ensure that the protections contained in it are expanded and made more effective. We submit that stronger and more inclusive enforcement mechanisms are needed.
The United Steelworkers thanks this committee for the opportunity to make submissions on this very important issue of concern to our union and all Canadians.
