Unwelcome definition

Unwelcome or “unwanted” in this context means any actions which the harasser knows or ought to know are not desired by the victim of harassment. Sexual harassment is any unwanted attention of sexual nature such as remarks about appearance or personal life, offensive written or visual actions like graffiti or degrading pictures, physical contact of any kind, or sexual demands. Racial harassment is any action, whether verbal or physical that expresses or promotes racial hatred in the workplace such as racial slurs, written or visually offensive actions, and jokes or other unwanted comments or acts. The experience of harassment can be overwhelming for the victim. People often react with shock, humiliation and intense anger. Therefore, the victim of harassment may not always feel comfortable going through the normal channels for resolving such a problem. Because of the sensitive, personal natures of harassment complaints, especially racial and sexual harassment, the victim may prefer initially to seek other assistance. This could be by any local Union elected person or official, including members of the women’s committee, human rights committee, and affirmative action committee. This person could assist the harassment victim in bringing the incident(s) to the attention of the local Union leadership. The local Union president and the unit chairperson must contact the UNIFOR national representative, and if necessary, they will meet with a senior Company representative(s) to carry out an investigation. The issue must be handled with confidentiality, and is to be resolved within ten (10) working days of notifying the unit chairperson and local Union president. Any resolution of harassment complaint must reflect the serious nature of such acts and send a clear signal that they will not be tolerated.
