Prince Edward County pushes against workplace harassment
Prince Edward County Council is supporting a push to put real consequences in place for elected officials who harass or abuse others in the workplace.
During her presentation she talked about Bill 5, which would amend the municipal act to both require councillors to comply with the workplace harassment and violence policies of the municipality they represent and allow municipalities to direct the integrity commissioner to ask the court to vacate a councillor’s seat if they do not follow those policies. A councillor who’s seat is vacated like this would not be allowed to seek re-election in the next regular election.
Council was supportive of the initiative after the presentation. Councillor Phil St-Jean said that it is time to change how misconduct by councillors is handled.
