Ask your question and a Long-term Disability Lawyer in Canada will answer in minutes
I was terminated by my employer (I was a Rail Traffic Controller since 2008 for a national railway) for being on LTD and unable to give a timetable for a return. I was a unionized employee and my union is grieving this termination. I was terminated August 2, 2022 and arbitration is still pending. I submitted a complaint to the Canadian Human Rights Commission that has been paused pending the outcome of arbitration. I’m wondering if there is a legal path I can follow and if there is a deadline?
I'm sorry to hear this. Unfortunately, because you are unionized, our employment lawyers wouldn't have the jurisdiction to get involved in the matter or start a legal claim against the union. Your union representative would be able to let you know if there are any other options for you regarding this termination.
