Record Your Right To Refuse! |
 Invoked
Right to Refuse Dangerous Work
The National Legislative Board has undertaken the
initiative to document all occurrences where its
members have invoked the “Right
to Refuse Dangerous Work”, under Section
128.1/Part-ll of the Canada Labour Code.
The Board has developed a form intended to serve as
a preliminary record of the event and is to be
filled out by members during or as soon as possible
after the event has transpired. The TCRC has
received numerous reports of cases where its members
have invoked the right to refuse dangerous work and
this right has neither been acknowledged nor acted
upon by various railway officers.
In extreme cases its members have been threatened
with discipline and dismissal during a right to
refuse. This is contrary to the intent of Part-II
/Section-147 of the Canada Labour Code. It is
therefore imperative that this form be filled out to
provide an accurate description of the event for all
occurrences and forwarded to the National Office.
The National Legislative Board will contact all
members involved and investigate each occurrence.
Records of these occurrences will be kept on file in
the National Office. We urge all members to actively
participate in this important endeavour.
Please send completed hard copies to the National Legislative Board -
