Everyone has the right to work in an environment free from harassment, discrimination, and intimidation. If you have experienced, witnessed, or have concerns about workplace harassment or discrimination, OSSTF District 14 is here to support you.
This page provides information about your rights, available protections, and resources that may help you understand your options. Every situation is unique, and you do not need to navigate it alone. If you have questions, are unsure whether something constitutes harassment or discrimination, or would like confidential support, we encourage you to reach out to your local union representative or the District 14 office.
Knowing your rights is the first step toward creating safe, respectful, and inclusive workplaces for all members.

Human Rights Tribunal
The Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF) procedures for human rights issues prioritize internal grievance resolution over independent filings. When a violation is linked to your collective agreement, OSSTF representatives will file a grievance, as the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO) often defers cases until the grievance process concludes. See “Navigating a Human Rights Complaint” for steps and advice.
