BUSINESS AND TRAINING 25
At a recent gathering , within Covid guidelines , the Women in Plumbing group launched the Gender Based Violence and Harassment against Women , ‘ Not in our workplace , not in our industry !’ pledge .
We reproduce the pledge here , as a pullout , and encourage readers to sign it and place it in each office .
• To demand that employers develop policies against all forms of violence and harassment at work , and promote awareness among their employees on the devastating impacts of violence against women and the importance of eradicating it
• To demand that employers develop concrete policies and procedures to prevent and combat all forms of violence against women in their premises and supply chains , and establish safe mechanisms for women to turn to if they are assaulted or attacked at work
• To include demands for the eradication of violence and harassment against women in our collective bargaining claims .
