Common use of NON-DISCRIMINATION/HARASSMENT Clause in Contracts

NON-DISCRIMINATION/HARASSMENT. 3.01 Both the Company and the Union are committed to providing a workplace free of discrimination and harassment. Management and employees must not engage in discrimination or harassment because of prohibited grounds. All outside contractors will be expected to adhere to all policies on Non-Discrimination/Harassment. Prohibited grounds are race, ancestry, place of origin, colour, ethnic origin, citizenship, creed, sex, sexual orientation, age, record of offences, marital status, family status and handicap, but will also include political affiliation and language, for example “native language”. Prohibited grounds shall be interpreted in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Ontario Human Rights Code and any other applicable legislation. Employees shall not be discriminated against on the basis of Union affiliation. The Company and the Union are committed to the concept of equal opportunity in the workplace. Both parties agree to this principle and will promote fair and equitable interaction through mutual respect for the rights of others. Harassment is in no way to be construed as properly discharged supervisory responsibilities, including the delegation of work assignments, the assessment of discipline or any conduct that does not undermine the dignity of the individual. The pursuit of frivolous allegations of Human Rights violations has a detrimental effect on the spirit and intent for which this policy was rightfully developed, and should be discouraged.
