Workplace Civility. The University and the Union are committed to an environment where all members of the community are free from bullying and personal harassment. In assessing whether bullying and personal harassment may have occurred, the definitions and standards set out in the University’s Workplace Civility and Respect Policy, the Guide to Civility, and any applicable legislation, although not forming part of the collective agreement, shall be considered, including by an arbitrator in any arbitration pursuant to this section. An employee may file a grievance, in accordance with Article 9, alleging a course of conduct amounting to bullying and personal harassment if, after the University has exhausted any applicable internal steps, as outlined in the University’s Workplace Civility and Respect Policy and the Guide to Civility, to respond to the situation, the assistant is dissatisfied with the outcome. Such grievance will be filed at Step 3 of the grievance procedure. The employee shall have the right to consult with their union representative and be accompanied by such representative at any meetings throughout the process outlined in this Article.
