Projects carried out in this stream relate to:
- The role of front-line union representatives in the return-to-work process. This project combining legal analysis and qualitative study is led by Maxine Visotzky-Charlebois as part of her doctoral thesis and supervised by Dalia Gesualdi-Fecteau, Emmanuelle Bernheim and previously Katherine Lippel.
- The path taken by employees following the filing of a complaint of psychological harassment under the Loi sur les normes du travail (« LNT »), from the time they participate in mediation offered by the Commission des normes de l'équité, de la santé et de la sécurité en milieu de travail ("CNESST") to their re-entry or non-return to the labour market. This mixed-methods exploratory study is being conducted by Pascale Lanctôt-Leroy as part of her master's degree in labour law, under the supervision of Rachel Cox and Gilles Dupuis.
- The lack of protection from psychological and sexual harassment in the workplace for people without immigration status. This ethnographic study is being conducted by Noémie Beauvais as part of her master's degree in labour law, under the supervision of Rachel Cox.
To quote Katherine Lippel, instigator of the main project, this line of research is not limited to the strictly legal aspect, "[it] lies at the frontiers of rehabilitation sciences, legal sciences and studies on precarious work and mobile work, more broadly on occupational health."
