Consultation paper on Workplace Violence and Prevention - OFL Submission to the Ministry of Labour - October 2008 (download PDF)
This is an issue that has been a priority for the OFL and its affiliates for many years. Labour has written and raised the issue with every Minister of Labour for a decade or more. We have called upon them to introduce legislation. We have raised concerns over the Ministry interpretation that while workplace violence is a hazard covered under the Occupational Health and Safety Act that employers must address; it is not a condition of the workplace that allows workers to exercise their right to refuse. The MOL would treat any refusals as complaints. Four years ago, we told the Ministry that this was not only wrong but unethical and immoral.
