Women’s Advocate The Parties recognize that Employees may sometimes need to discuss matters such as violence or abuse at home or workplace harassment and may feel more comfortable doing so with a female peer. They may also need to learn about specialized resources in the community, such as counsellors or women’s shelters, to assist them in dealing with any issues that may arise. For these reasons, the Parties agree to recognize that the role of Women’s Advocate in the workplace will be served by a Unifor Local 5555 female member selected by Unifor. The Women’s Advocate will meet with Employees as required to discuss problems and refer them to the appropriate agency when necessary. The Women’s Advocate will participate in an annual 3-day training conference in accordance with Article 28.01(a). The Women’s Advocate shall be given release from their regular duties as required without loss of regular pay and benefits. The amount of time required for release and the cost allocations are subject to review and agreement by the Employer and the Union. On or before December 1 of each year, Unifor will provide a detailed report to the University’s Management Liaison to the Women’s Advocate, accounting for the specific activities of the Women’s Advocate over the previous 12 months, including: i. the total number of Employees they have assisted; ii. the specific dates and times for which they have been granted release time as the Women’s Advocate; iii. an aggregate summary of the matters they have handled; and iv. an aggregate summary of the referrals they have made.
