Preventing workplace harassment
Harassment is offensive behaviour that a reasonable person would consider unwelcome. If you’re experiencing workplace harassment, contact a steward for help understanding your right to work in a healthy and safe work environment.
A steward can help you resolve a harassment issue informally or by filing a formal complaint, in accordance with the Library’s procedures.
If you’re experiencing workplace harassment, keep a record of all incidents: the time, date, location, what was said or done, and any witnesses. Evidence might include emails, handwritten notes, photographs or physical evidence like vandalized personal belongings.
You can use the downloadable form below to track harassing behaviours:
