Anti-Harassment and Bystander Training; Conflict Skills for Stewards; Respect at work: Stop Bullying, Harassment and Violence and Grievance Handling

Anti-Harassment and Bystander Training
November 24, 2026 (9:00am-12:00pm (Eastern))

When we are disrespected in our union, or when harm, harassment, and discrimination happen we are unsafe. We would not accept it from our supervisors and managers at work, and it is not ok in our union space. When we witness others being harmed, oppressed or injured, we can intervene in safe and effective ways before, during, or after a harassing or violent situation. In this 3-hour workshop, learn and practice how to intervene.
