Workplace learning, it is suggested, plays a critical role in creating equal social, economic and employment opportunities for all workers. This paper examines some of the challenges associated with ensuring that all workers have equal workplace learning opportunities. Under Canadian law, employers have a legal and socio-economic duty to ensure that the workplace learning opportunities are supported for all employees. By means of two case studies specifically relating to persons with learning disabilities due to dyslexia, the judicial system's response to employers who fail to fulfil this duty is highlighted. The paper also offers a conceptual overview of workplace learning.
