“Union Penalized in Accommodation Case”
– Is your organization at risk of being named in this headline?
Unions are being held liable in return to work cases when they are the barrier to an accommodation. In a failure to accommodate, a lack of understanding of legal responsibilities is not an acceptable defence.
The Occupational Disability Response Team (ODRT) can help.
We provide training for workplace representatives looking for the legal requirements and best practices that promote better accommodation outcomes.
Our new Confronting Occupational Disability course covers the union’s responsibility and liability in accommodation and the basic skills on how to accommodate workers. We are presenting 12 courses this fall in locations across Ontario.
Contact the ODRT for a location near you. www.odrt.ca or info@odrt.ca
The ODRT is a project of the Ontario Federation of Labour
