Assistance and legal aid at work

FLT can provide free assistance in cases of withheld salary payments, unjust termination of employment, work related injuries, or bullying or harassment at work. We can also help with questions concerning employment contracts or collective agreements. FLT can assist your local union representative in negotiating on your behalf. We seek to ensure fair pay and working conditions by negotiating the best possible collective agreements. FLT considers a flexible, criteria-based wage policy to be the best incentive for increased effort.

If you need assistance and/or legal aid, please contact your local union representative or our head office. Download FLTs Guidelines for Legal Assistance
