Speakers
In this webinar, expert panelists will provide practical guidance on drafting and negotiating collective agreement language that promotes workplace diversity, equity, and inclusion. Panelists will address questions including:
- How can workplace parties apply anti-racism and intersectional approaches when reviewing collective agreement language and negotiating new clauses?
- What changes should workplace parties consider making to commonly-used terminology in their collective agreements to ensure that contract language is inclusive and non-discriminatory?
- Should parties consider updating their collective agreement language in light of federal Employment Equity Act amendments?
- What lessons can be learned from recent arbitration decisions in which collective agreement language was found to be discriminatory?
- What are some examples of collective agreement clauses that have recently been negotiated to promote equity, diversity, and inclusion and remove barriers for employees?
- How can parties ensure that collective agreement language – aimed at promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion – does not conflict with other collective agreement rights (e.g. seniority rights)?
