This handbook was created by the Canadian Labour Congress for trade union leaders, union staff representatives, local executive, committee members and shop stewards. The handbook serves as a guide that educates workplace parties involved in union settings about disability rights/justice, union’s role in facilitating disability inclusion, the accommodation process, as well as relevant legislation, legal and historical context. It provides an overview of disability rights issues in Canada, with a specific focus on advancements and challenges in workplaces and in the union movement.
The handbook includes a comprehensive guide on the duty to accommodate, a checklist for organizing accessible events, and many more practical resources for supporting disability rights in workplaces, unions, and communities.
