Absenteeism, disability and accommodation are all matters that are more likely than not to affect every worker at some point in his/her career. During the course of our careers, many of us will be personally impacted by disabling illness on either a temporary or permanent basis.
This program provides the Union with knowledge of the rights and obligations that come part and parcel with the issues of disability, absenteeism and accommodation. Particularly, we will discuss and analyze the impact of human rights legislation, the impact of privacy legislation, as well as preparing and proceeding to arbitration including but not limited to the evidentiary burden, proper note taking, and proper investigation skills.
