REVIEW/INVESTIGATION OF COMPLAINTS. Filing a Complaint If an employee believes they have been harassed and/or discriminated against on the basis of any prohibited ground they may request a stop of the behaviour, inform the individual that the behaviour is unwanted and unwelcome, document the events and/or report the incident to the Supervisor or Union Committee Representative. However, it is also understood that some persons who allege discrimination or harassment may be uncomfortable or reluctant to confront their harasser. In this event, the complainant may seek assistance by reporting the incident directly to any Union Committee Representative or Representative of Management. To ensure that a timely review/investigation can occur, it is understood that a member who has brought forward a complaint or who is the respondent to a complaint under this Article will participate in any investigation and will be accompanied by a Union Representative to do so. If such member is absent from work due to illness, reasonable accommodations will be made to ensure their timely and ongoing participation in the process.
