What Equity Watch does *

Here’s what we do

  • Promote workplaces that are free of bullying, harassment and discrimination

  • Advocate for better governmental regulation of employment equity

  • Encourage the hiring, development and promotion of women, racialized minorities, the disabled and indigenous people so as to better reflect our society in workplaces

  • Monitor bodies, like the Human Rights Commission

  • Scrutinize employers and their human resources departments to ensure they are upholding the principles of employment equity

  • Assist, where possible, individuals who have been bullied, harassed or discriminated against at work

  • Recognizing that unions are among the key organizations tasked with the fight against bullying, harassment and discrimination at work and have been such for over a hundred years, we encourage and help them to do even better at meeting this challenge

  • Hold free webinars with guests who talk about their experience about workplace discrimination, fighting at the human rights commission, and promoting harassment free workplaces.

  • Perform academic research on cases like Horrocks, that affect human rights cases in trade unions.
