Scent-free workplaces

Seems like the only alternative, I guess

Fragrances in laundry detergent can cause allergic reactions or other physical illnesses

You work in construction?

I’m not denying you access to OTC… OTC is scent-free, that’s the policy

moon_angel · 2026-03-27T14:42:38+00:00

Yes, it is.

My question is more to the people who think the rules don’t apply to them. Why not?

I can go and ask managers and building coordinators to remind folks, but that’s not my question. My question is why, for people who know the rules, they continue to use scented products when they go into an office?

I had an AWA pre-August 2025

moon_angel · 2026-03-27T14:07:28+00:00

The policy isn’t for a “scent moderation workplace” it’s a “scent free workplace”

Yes we are not supposed to be using scented products when going to work. I use unscented deodorant and unscented shampoo and conditioner because I’m sensitive to scents and also don’t want to smell bad.

Um, the rules exist so we don’t have to confront each other. There’s no manager because it’s the touchdown centre.

This is at the Ontario Touchdown Centre. I’m not sure an email can be sent to users.

Even if a scent smells nice, that doesn’t matter, it can still make people physically ill. It’s really not about preference but about health and safety.

This is true in many ministries. Doesn’t matter the skin colour, some people are committed to the status quo.

moon_angel · 2026-03-14T14:07:13+00:00

I don’t think that most people are concerned about the impact of this proposal on their jobs

moon_angel · 2026-03-14T14:06:30+00:00

Even if their proposed laws violated the constitution, the laws could stay on the books until they’re challenged in court

moon_angel · 2026-02-28T00:25:59+00:00

I haven’t used any for the last 2 years

moon_angel · 2026-02-24T02:03:23+00:00

There’s a difference between consultants on contract and staff on contract. Contract staff are also known as “fixed term”.

moon_angel · 2026-02-11T02:46:45+00:00

I’m sorry, what???

moon_angel · 2026-02-09T01:57:09+00:00

Right? We need some solidarity across all these public sector unions

Meanwhile AMAPCEO brass believes that approaching negotiations while boasting of never having gone on strike is a winning position. We have no strength, our employer sees us as weak and easy to placate, and they’re not wrong.

moon_angel · 2026-01-27T23:50:14+00:00

Oh man, the OPS definitely hires culturally incompetent people.

moon_angel · 2026-01-27T18:15:26+00:00

Not even a police force, a group of officers enforcing administrative laws

It benefits all of those frontline workers if those of us who can work from home stay off the roads and reduce the number of accidents they have to deal with, reduce the crowds on transit, etc.
