SUMMARY:Asset or Adversary? Examining AI’s impact on work and labour relations
DESCRIPTION:Moderator\n\n \nGeorge Filliter\nArbitrator and Mediator\nFilliter Arbitration and Mediation Services Inc. \n\n\nSpeakers\n\n \nDonald Jordan\nEmployer Counsel\nHarris & Company \n\n\n \nPeter Lewis\nCanada Research Chair\, Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence\nAssociate Professor\, Computer Science\nOntario Tech University \n\n\n \nTrent Snikkers\nBilingual National Representative\nCanadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) \n\n\nIn this webinar\, a panel of experts will explore the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the world of work and the implications for labour relations: \n\nAre concerns about AI’s impact on work overblown? Is this technological advance really different from previous technological revolutions that raised similar concerns about unemployment and the dehumanization of work?\nWhat aspects of work are most likely to be affected by AI? Is replacement of workers the only concern? Is encroachment upon employee privacy also of concern?\nWill human resources be taken over by “algorithmic management\,” e.g. filtering applications for employment\, assessing employee performance\, making decisions regarding termination of employment?\nWill AI take over labour relations tasks such as writing policies\, interpreting contract language\, drafting grievances\, researching law\, formulating arguments based on precedent\, or even deciding the outcome of grievances?\nWhat privacy issues are raised by the introduction of new AI technologies into the workplace? What lessons can be learned from recent arbitration decisions?\nHow should parties address concerns about work intensification related to AI?\nHow can workplace parties use AI to render it an “asset” while avoiding the drawbacks that may render it an “adversary”?\n\nAccreditationCPD\n\n\nThis program has been approved for Continuing Professional Development 1.5 hours under Category A of the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Log of the Human Resource Professionals Association (HRPA).\n\n\n\n\nThis program has been approved by CPHR BC & Yukon for 1.5 Continuing Professional Development hours.\n\n\n\n\nThis program has been approved by CPHR Alberta for 1.5 Continuing Professional Development hours.\n\n\n\n\n \n\nThis program has been approved by the Law Society of British Columbia for 1.5 Substantive Hours; 0 Professionalism Hours.\nMembers of the Law Society of New Brunswick may count this program for 1.5 Continuing Professional Development hours.\nMembers of the Nova Scotia Barristers’ Society may count this program for 1.5 Continuing Professional Development hours.\nCPD for Members of the Law Society of Ontario: 1.5 Substantive Hours; 0 Professionalism Hours.

SUMMARY:Shaken to the Core: When will a breach of trust justify termination?
DESCRIPTION:Moderator\n\n \nPaul Love\nArbitrator and Mediator \n\n\nSpeakers\n\n \nChristine Poirier\nSenior Advisor to General Counsel and Chief of Labour Relations and Special Projects Officer\nProfessional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC) \n\n\n \nTwila Reid\nEmployer Counsel\nStewart McKelvey \n\n\nWhat happens when trust is broken in the workplace? What kind of conduct is considered to rise to the level of breach of trust\, and when will it be cause for dismissal? In this session\, experts will examine breach of trust in the workplace\, addressing: \n\nWhat constitutes a “breach of trust”? What types of conduct will rise to this threshold?\nDo employees have a duty to avoid conflicts of interest? Does this duty differ in the public and private sectors? What types of situations have arbitrators found pose conflicts of interest?\nWhat evidence is required to prove that an employee has engaged in conduct that rose to the level of a breach of trust? What is the requisite standard of proof?\nWhat are the consequences of a breach of trust? When is progressive discipline required\, and when will a breach of trust be so severe that proceeding directly to termination of employment is warranted? Do different positions and/or workplaces attract differing standards of trust?\nWhat factors do arbitrators\, courts\, and adjudicators typically consider when assessing the appropriate disciplinary penalty for a breach of trust? When may damages in lieu of reinstatement be considered?What factors may be taken into consideration when deciding whether an employment relationship is reparable?\nWill an employee’s remorse or willingness to account for their wrongdoing lead to a different disciplinary outcome? What mitigating factors should unions and employee-side representatives point to in order to support a lesser penalty?\n\nAccreditationCPD\n\n\nThis program has been approved for Continuing Professional Development 1.5 hours under Category A of the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Log of the Human Resource Professionals Association (HRPA).\n\n\n\n\nThis program has been approved by CPHR BC & Yukon for 1.5 Continuing Professional Development hours.\n\n\n\n\nThis program has been approved by CPHR Alberta for 1.5 Continuing Professional Development hours.\n\n\n\n\n \n\nThis program has been approved by the Law Society of British Columbia for 1.5 Substantive Hours; 0 Professionalism Hours.\nMembers of the Law Society of New Brunswick may count this program for 1.5 Continuing Professional Development hours.\nMembers of the Nova Scotia Barristers’ Society may count this program for 1.5 Continuing Professional Development hours.\nCPD for Members of the Law Society of Ontario: 1.5 Substantive Hours; 0 Professionalism Hours.
