Ontario: Joint Labour Program Occupational Health & Safety Workshop for Committee Members (IN PERSON – 2025)

-


The Joint Learning Program (JLP) was established in 2001 as a collaborative initiative between the Public Service Alliance of Canada and the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat. This program represents a pioneering agreement in Canada where a bargaining agent and the employer jointly deliver learning activities through contract negotiations. The JLP’s funding and mandate are now embedded in collective agreements.

Objectives:

  1. Improve labour relations
  2. Deepen understanding of union and employer roles and responsibilities in the workplace

Participation:

All union members and management within the core public administration are eligible to participate in the JLP as organizers, facilitators, and participants.

This two-day in-person workshop gives participants the opportunity to increase their knowledge, develop their skills and capacity to contribute to occupational health and safety (OHS).
