Prepare for the Holidays - What You Need to Know About Representing Members of Different Religious Beliefs
Avoid the religious discrimination issues that other unions have faced! Several religious holidays are coming up; it is important for you to know your responsibilities in order to ensure that members’ religious tenets are respected and accommodated, regardless of their faith.
From the convenience of your desk, this webinar will explore the complexities of religious discrimination and unions:
- What are the legal requirements when members need time to pray or for religious observance?
- What do you do if a member is disrespectful of another member’s religious faith?
- What are the strategic and political implications for the union when members seek accommodations for religious beliefs?
