Women’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 counselors or women's shelters to assist them in dealing with these and other issues. For this reason the parties agree to recognize that the role of women's advocate in the workplace will be served by the Unifor female member of the Local Union Employment Equity Committees, in addition to her other duties relating to employment equity. The trained female Employment Equity Representative will meet with female members as required, discuss problems with them, and refer them to the appropriate community agency when necessary. The company agrees to establish a confidential phone line that female employees can use to contact the female Employment Equity Representatives. As well, the company will provide access to a private office so that confidentiality can be maintained when a female employee is meeting with a female Employment Equity Representative. The Local Employment Equity Committees will develop appropriate communications to inform female employees about the advocacy role that the female Employment Equity Committee members play. The successful Women’s Advocate candidate will participate in the Women’s Advocate Forty (40) Hour Basic (one (1) time training). The company will be responsible for paying wages, transportation, and lodging expenses. The union will be responsible for meals and other expenses.
