DUTY TO ACCOMMODATE
What is the Duty to Accommodate? What are the roles of the employers, unions and individuals requesting accommodation? Should we wait for individual requests or are there things we should be doing that anticipate accommodation needs of workers? Is there legislation and case law we need to know about? What are some examples of measures we should be actively promoting in the workplace? What about within the union – what accommodations should we introduce to get our own house in order?
DEADLINE TO REGISTER: January 9, 2026

Volunteer as a Steward
Unions begin with you.
When workers unite, they make things better for everyone. That’s why unions were created to stand up together for fair wages, safe workplaces and decent work hours.
Locals form the foundation of the union. The Local is where members connect to the union - it's where we go for help, where we meet to discuss workplace concerns, where we elect representatives and vote on proposed contract settlements.
