7      HARASSMENT
7.1
The parties recognize the right of employees to work in an
environment free of harassment.
7.2
Harassment will have the same meaning as defined in the Canadian
Human Rights Act and the Canada Labour Code. Harassment includes
engaging in a course of vexatious comment or conduct that is known
or ought to be known to be unwelcome.
For clarification, sexual harassment means any conduct, comment,
gesture or contact of a sexual nature:
a.      that is likely to cause offence or humiliation to any individual,
b.      that might, on reasonable grounds, be perceived by that
        individual as placing a condition of a sexual nature on
        employment or on any opportunity for training or promotion.
Sexual harassment is generally comprised of objectionable and
offensive behaviour which may occur once or repeatedly. Unwelcome
sexual advances, requests for sexual favours, and other verbal, pictorial
or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment.
It is a discriminatory practice, in matters related to employment, to
harass an individual on any of the following prohibited grounds of
discrimination: race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, age, sex,
sexual orientation, marital status, family status, disability, or conviction
for an offence for which a pardon has been granted. It includes any
comment or conduct based on the grounds listed above, that offends
or humiliates. Discriminatory harassment will have taken place if it is
known or ought to have reasonably been known that the behaviour in
question was unwelcome or inappropriate in the workplace.
Discrimination on the basis of childbirth and pregnancy is covered
under the category - sex.
7.3
The normal exercise of management rights, in particular the right to
assign tasks and the right to reprimand or impose discipline under the
terms of this agreement, are not defined as harassment.
7.4
When a complaint is filed alleging harassment, the Corporation will
immediately investigate to resolve the issue and to protect the rights
and well being of all the parties involved. The complaint will be dealt
with in accordance with the Corporation's policy on Harassment. It is
agreed that the procedures set out in the policy will not be changed
during the life of this Collective Agreement.
Further, the Corporation will take corrective or disciplinary measures as
required. Such disciplinary action when taken against an employee in
this bargaining unit shall be covered by the provisions of this Collective
Agreement. Such action must be taken in a timely manner.
7.5
An employee alleging harassment in the workplace, as described above,
has the right, after informing his/her supervisor or manager, to be
assigned other suitable work, if available, until an investigation has been
undertaken.
7.6
Nothing in this Article shall replace an individual's right to file a
complaint in accordance with the Canadian Human Rights Act.
7.7
No employee risks reprisals as a result of filing a complaint in good
faith, or being a party to the investigation of a complaint.

== Body ==
Harassment of any kind will not be tolerated within the Hacklab community, physical or virtual. This includes assault, battery, intimidation and all other forms of abuse- physical, sexual or emotional. If someone tells you to leave them alone, leave them alone! If someone tells you "no", stop!
Any members engaging in unacceptable behaviour may be removed from the premises and after a discussion on the members list potentially have their membership suspended.
Any guests who engage in unacceptable behaviour may be removed from the premises by any member, with the member being expected to follow up with the members list about the incident to determine whether the guest will be allowed back. If the same guest is asked to leave a second time, there is no discussion necessary - the guest is no longer welcome.
Guests who have issue with the behaviour of a member or another guest may bring this up with another member or by mailing the members mailing list.
Within our community, it is everyone's responsibility to ensure that the lab exists as a safe and comfortable place for members and guests alike.
