Introduction
In today's
world, where equality and human rights are so important, workers' rights
and workplace discrimination are still big issues. Ideally, workplaces
should value people for their skills and contributions, but they often
reflect the inequalities and biases seen in society. Discrimination
based on age, gender, disability, sexual orientation, race, and other
personal traits not only hurts the dignity of those affected but also
reduces productivity and harmony in an organization.
Historical and contemporary studies have shown that discriminatory practices in the workplace are not only morally and ethically reprehensible but also economically damaging. The ripple effects of such injustices can be seen in decreased employee morale, higher turnover rates, and substantial legal costs, among other adverse outcomes. Despite significant legal advancements and the establishment of regulatory bodies aimed at protecting workers' rights, the persistence of workplace discrimination underscores the need for continuous vigilance and action.
This
research paper aims to explore the multifaceted dimensions of workers'
rights in Canada, Federal and Provencial Laws in Canada and
discrimination in the workplace, Unions their role benefits and
drawbacks.
