On December 6, 2013, the Canadian Labour Congress with Western University launched a groundbreaking national survey on the impact of domestic violence in the workplace. The response was overwhelming – 8429 workers participated, from all regions of the country.
We asked them who had experienced domestic violence, how it impacted their work and their co-workers, whether they had discussed it with anyone at work and what types of support they may have received.
The survey results are a wake-up call and we can’t wait to share what we have learned.
It’s time to talk. This survey is the start of a conversation, one that needs to involve  unions, employers and governments, about how we can make sure that people who experience domestic violence can feel safe on the job, and feel supported by their union and employer.
