Can my employer discriminate against me if I make a complaint?

It is every employee's responsibility to make known to the employer any concerns that you may have regarding safety at your worksite. Your employer cannot discriminte against you or threaten your employment for reporting safety concerns including for any of the following reasons:

• The member assists or gives information to an inspector; or
• The member appears as a witness in any proceedings under the Workplace Health and Safety Act against the employer; or
• The member makes a reasonable complaint about a health and safety matter to the employer or an inspector; or
• The member performs or has performed any function or duty as an employees' safety representative or as a member of a health and safety committee; or
• The member refuses to work under section 17 of the Workplace Health and Safety Act.

If you have raised a reasonable safety issue with your employer and the employer has not taken any action or you feel you have being discriminated against or disadvantaged in any way because you raised the matter then contact your Delegate or your HACSU Worksite Committee.
