Alberta Human Rights - What workers need to know

Alberta Human Rights – what workers need to know

In Alberta—or anywhere—people should not be treated unfairly at work because of who they are. From racism to homophobia, sexual harassment to ablism, discrimination in the workplace is not acceptable and fortunately, there are rules in place to protect workers.

This workshop helps workers to understand discrimination and the protected grounds in Alberta, learn about accommodations and how to request them, and discover what you can do if you have faced discrimination at work.

Employment Insurance Basics for Workers

Leave a reply

Employment Insurance isn’t just for workers who’ve lost their jobs. This national program, also referred to as EI, is available to most Canadian workers. EI provides insured workers with income for when they are too sick to work, when they need to care for critically ill family members and provides some security when workers lose their jobs.

In this workshop, Kennedy Hughes, the Workers’ Resource Centre’s Public Legal Educator, covers everything workers need to know about Employment Insurance to ensure they are prepared and informed about this essential program.
