The Right to Refuse Work

The ATU Canadian Council has issued cards, for workers in every province that we operate in, to inform you of your right to refuse unsafe work. Consult these cards when you’re in doubt about the safety of your work environment. If your local requires more of these cards please do not hesitate to contact us.
