Common use of Woman’s Advocate Clause in Contracts

Woman’s Advocate. The Company and the Union agree that female employees may sometimes need to discuss with another woman, matters such as violence or abuse in their personal lives. They may also need to find out about special resources in the community such as counselors or women’s issues. The parties agree to recognize a C.A.W. female member who will serve in the role of the Woman’s Advocate. The female advocate will meet with female members as required to discuss problems with them in a private area provided for confidentiality. The parties also recognize and share the concern that women uniquely face situations of violence or abuse in their personal lives that may affect their attendance or performance at work. The parties agree that when there is adequate verification from a recognized professional (ie. Doctor, Lawyer, professional counselor), a woman who is in an abusive or violent personal or domestic situation may not be subjected to discipline without giving full consideration to the facts in the case of each individual and the circumstances surrounding the incident otherwise supportive of discipline. This statement of intent is subject to a standard of good faith on the part of the Employer, the Union and the affected employees and may not be utilized by the Union or the employees to subvert the application of otherwise appropriate disciplinary measure. The Woman’s Advocate will develop appropriate communication to inform the female employees about the advocacy role. In recognition of the above parties agree that a minute of silence will be observed, and the workers will stop working, each year in memory of women who have died due to acts of violence. This minute will be observed on December 6th at 11:00a.m. The Union will ensure that the member appointed will receive appropriate initial training. The Company agrees to cover the cost of annual refresher training.
