Aug 29, 2026 | ONLINE, Alberta | English
Register using your complete HOME address. After the workshop, hard copies of the materials will be mailed to you at a cost of approximately $10 per package. We do not mail to Union offices or places of employment.

Anti-Harassment and Bystander Training (OLS)

Aug 30, 2026 | ONLINE, Alberta | English
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-hours workshop, learn and practice how to intervene.
