Woman’s Advocate. The parties recognize that female employees may sometimes need to discuss with another woman matters such as violence or abuse at home or workplace harassment. They may also need to find out about specialized resources in the community, such as counsellors or women’s shelters, to assist them in dealing with these and other issues. For this reason, the parties agree to recognize the role of the Women’s Advocate in the workplace. The Women’s Advocate will meet with female members as required, to discuss problems with them and refer them to the appropriate community agency when necessary. The Company will provide access to a private area so that confidentiality can be maintained when a female employee is meeting with the Women’s Advocate. The Women’s Advocate will participate in an annual two day training program, including travel. The Company will be responsible for wages and meal expenses to a maximum of $35 per day. The Union will be responsible for transportation and lodging expenses.
