Joint Statement. The Union and the Employer recognize the right of employees to work in an environment that is free from acts of Discrimination, including Personal and Sexual Harassment. Therefore, the Union and the Employer agree to cooperate in the investigation and resolution of any complaints arising from allegations of Personal or Sexual Harassment. The Human Rights Act of the Province of British Columbia protects individuals from acts of discrimination with respect to employment, or any term or condition of employment because of a person’s race, colour, ancestry, place of origin, political belief, religion, marital status, family status, physical or mental disability, sex, sexual orientation, or age of that person, or because that person has been convicted of a criminal or summary conviction offense that is unrelated to the employment or the intended employment of that person. Personal harassment is a form of discrimination and shall be defined as any conduct that is unwelcome or that ought to be known to be unwelcome, and that is based on one or more of the prohibited grounds identified in the Human Rights Act of the Province of British Columbia. Sexual harassment is a form of discrimination and shall be defined as any conduct of a sexual nature that is unwelcome or that ought to be known to be unwelcome. Both Personal and Sexual Harassment may be direct or indirect, verbal, physical or unintended, unsolicited or unwelcome, repetitive or a single incident. Harassment may include, but is not limited to such conduct as crude language, sexist or racist remarks, unwelcome jokes and cartoons, nude or semi‐ nude pictures, displaying of racist or bigoted materials, or other unwelcome conduct. The result of the unwelcome conduct creates an environment that is uncomfortable or hostile for one or more employees. Because of the sensitivity of such situations, and the desire to handle these matters in a confidential and expeditious manner, complaints may be referred to the Administrator, or any Manager, Supervisor, or Union Representative. An appropriate investigation will be carried out in full accordance with the procedures outlined in this policy. At any meeting in this regard, the complaint may be accompanied by a Union Official and/or the Union’s National Representative. Should any complaint remain unresolved, the Complainant may initiate a grievance at Step 3. It is understood that the Respondent to allegations of harassment shall have the right to know of, and will be in...

Joint Statement. 4.1 The parties agree to the issuance of the following Joint Statement: “In recent years, racial profiling has become widely recognized as an important civil rights issue, here in Maryland, and across the United States. The need to treat motorists of all races with respect, dignity, and fairness under the law is fundamental to good police work and a just society. The parties agree that racial profiling is unlawful and undermines public safety by alienating communities. “In an effort to bring light to the issue of racial profiling in Maryland, plaintiffs Xxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, and Xxxxx Xxxxxx have expended years of hard work, perseverance, and devotion to this important goal. Across the nation, these plaintiffs’ cases have been widely credited with raising awareness about the problem of racial profiling, and the need to respond to this issue. The Maryland State Police is committed to preventing racial profiling because it is the right thing to do. As a result of the 2003 Consent Decree in this case and the Maryland State Police’s commitment to fair and effective law enforcement, the Maryland State Police has taken measures to establish stronger policies prohibiting wrongful behavior by its troopers, to inform the public of the dangers of racial profiling and how to bring information about racial profiling to the attention of the State Police, and to implement greater management oversight of trooper conduct. The Maryland State Police adopted these policies, procedures and goals with an aim of assuring that all motorists are treated properly while the vital work of law enforcement is pursued. The plaintiffs applaud these efforts, and urge the Maryland State Police to continue its vigilance in the years ahead. All agree that good law enforcement and equitable treatment of the public go hand in hand. The parties have been engaged in the lawsuit for nearly 10 years and now find that it is in their best interests and the best interests of the community to bring finality to the case. While the parties have agreed to terms acceptable to both to end the lawsuit, the parties remain committed to condemning unlawful racial profiling in the future. The State and the plaintiffs are gratified that this chapter has been brought to a close and look forward to working together to maintain Maryland’s leadership on this issue.”
