Re: Grievance #0407201 §ARBIMIStep 2
Relevant Provisions: Collective Agreement Articles 2, 3, 20, 32, Ontario Human Rights
Code, (s. 5, sex discrimination, creed discrimination) Occupational Health and Safety Act,
Charter of Rights and Freedoms (ss 2(a), 2(b), 2(d), 7, 15)
Operator A v2 assigned to work a piece of overtime on Tuesday, April 4".
Her assigned bus featured an anti-abortion advertisement which she found offensive,
discriminated against her, poisoned her workplace and which she feared would
endanger her in violation of her occupational health and safety rights and subject her to
a course of vexatious comments or conduct from the public. She was removed from her
assignment and sent home without pay.
Local 1320 grieves this employer action as an improper, unreasonable and reckless
application of management rights, and grieves her having been discriminated against on
the basis of sex and creed. Local 1320 asserts her rights under the Charter have been
violated, specifically her rights to freedom of conscience, thought, belief, opinion and
expression, assembly, security of the person, and freedom from discrimination against
her on the basis of sex and creed. In the alternative the removal of the assignment
constitutes discipline without just cause. In the further alternative the removal of the
assignment constitutes reprisal against her expression of her rights under the
Occupational Health and Safety Act.
Remedy: that the Grievor be made whole, damages in respect of the breach of human
rights and in respect of the Charter breach; sensitivity and anti-harassment training for
all relevant City and Transit officials, inclusive of City Council
In Regards,
President
ATU Local 1320
