Info

The procedure should be incorporated into the collective agreement so that the employer's obligation to modify the workplace, adapt equipment, obtain equipment, and restructure jobs is established clearly. The obligation to consult with and work with the union must also be established in the collective agreement. There should be a dispute resolution mechanism in the collective agreement that is tailored to accommodation for members with a disability. An expedited arbitration or decision-making process with someone who is knowledgeable in the area of accommodation can help pave a smooth path for a member seeking accommodation. A joint process to accommodate members with disabilities is important because the union also has responsibilities for the accommodation. The union is best placed to advocate for the member if it is engaged from the beginning in a joint process with the employer. It is more difficult to advocate when the union is trying to correct or amend an inadequate plan to accommodate a member. If the local has the resources, a joint committee can be helpful as this helps build expertise inside the local. If a formal 23
committee isn't possible it is still important to establish a joint process through the collective agreement. The Appendix contains some samples of existing collective agreement provisions in CUPE agreements. 24
