It is an expression of perceived power and superiority by the over another person, usually for reasons over which the victim has little or no control: sex, race, age, creed, colour, marital status, sexual preference, disability, political or religious affiliation, or place of national origin. Harassment on any of these grounds can be made the basis of a complaint to most provincial and federal human rights commissions. Harassment can be defined as any unwelcome action by any person, in particular by management or a co-worker, whether verbal or physical, on a single or repeated basis, which humiliates, insults or degrades. ''Unwelcome'' or "unwanted" in this context mean any actions which the harasser knows or ought to know are not desired by the victim of the harassment. Sexual harassment is any unwanted attention of sexual nature such as remarks about appearance or personal life, offensive written or visual actions like graffiti or degrading pictures, physical contact of any kind, or sexual demands. Racial harassment is any action, whether verbal or physical that expresses or promotes racial hatred in the workplace such as racial slurs, written or visually offensive actions, jokes or other unwanted comments or acts. The experience of harassment can be overwhelming for the victim. People often react with shock, humiliation and intense anger. Therefore, the victim of harassment may not always feel comfortable going through the normal channels for resolving such a problem. Because of the sensitive, personal natures of harassment complaints, especially racial and sexual harassment, the victim may prefer initially to seek other assistance. This could be any local Union elected person or official, including members of the women's committee, human rights committee and affirmative action committee. This person could assist the harassment victim in bringing the to the attention of the top local Union leadership. The local Union president and the unit chairperson must contact the CAW national representative, and if necessary, they will meet with a senior Company to carry out an investigation. The issue must be handled with confidentiality, and is to be resolved within twenty (20) working days of notifying the unit chairperson and local Union president. Any resolution of a harassment complaint must reflect the serious natures of such acts and send a clear signal that they will not be tolerated.
