Resources at Work to Help You with Domestic Violence

CBC/Radio-Canada security officials recently revealed an increase in cases of domestic violence requiring their intervention.

How to get support?

If you are experiencing domestic violence, you don’t have to face this alone. Several options are available: talk confidentially to someone from the union or your manager, or write to securite.security@radio-canada.ca, where a member of the CBC/Radio-Canada security team will respond within 20 minutes.

You can receive advice and referrals to support services, or ensure your physical safety, if needed. A union representative can accompany you through these steps, always respecting confidentiality. Are you in imminent danger and 20 minutes is too long? Contact Security or 911.

Helping you is the law.

Did you know that the Canada Labour Code stipulates that an employer must provide paid leave to victims of domestic or spousal violence to recover, seek help, or reorganize their lives?

The Work Place Harassment and Violence Prevention Act also applies to domestic or spousal violence, and the employer must take all necessary measures to ensure the safety of the person experiencing violence in the workplace by preventing visits from the abuser or harassing phone calls, whether or not that abuser is employed by CBC/Radio-Canada.

You don’t have to be ashamed of what is happening or suffer in silence. If you need help, don’t hesitate to contact us.
