An employer put many key leaders through CLAC’s supervisor training program, providing them with better tools to help members in the workplace. We’ve held numerous labour-management meetings with employers to talk about key workplace issues. We’ve assisted members in making harassment complaints. We’ve addressed unfairness in scheduling of shifts. We’ve assisted members on CLAC’s benefits plan with counselling options and assisting with claims issues. We proved that an employee didn’t steal from their employer, and we negotiated a settlement for another employee who was wrongly terminated. We’ve delivered first aid training. We gave direct, assertive feedback about poor manager behaviours. We helped a group of employees bring forward safety issues, resulting in improved training and safety measures.
