❌Collective Agreement Violations

This page outlines violations of Tech Fleet's Community Collective Agreement

Collective Agreement Violations

Per Tech Fleet's Community Collective Agreement, these are the explicit violations that should lead to reporting:

Primary Violations

• Violence: intentionally hurting or endangering any persons, groups, or ”types of people”.

• Unapproved sharing of confidential information.

• Characterizing anyone’s personality or behavior on the basis of immutable identities or perceptions such as race, ethnicity, gender, sex, sexual orientation or national origin.

• Unnecessary personal attention or harassment after any clear request to stop it.

• Legal endangerment: Openly illegal activities, fraud, or hate speech.

Secondary Violations

• Failing to responsibly package and present media which includes, links or describes any Primary Violations.

• Preventing others from participating through coercion, threat, or suppression.

• Ignoring or neglecting a message of concern from any of our trusted community leaders (including the Board, staff, and Guild leadership).

• Circumventing a removal by using another identity, account or profile.
