A truck driver injured his back while on the job. His employer accommodated his disability at first but he was eventually terminated.
The employer claimed that the business was being structured and that many other drivers were affected. The other workers were laid off, however, not terminated.
The employer told our client that he would not be paid severance because he had initiated a human rights application.
The Centre negotiated a settlement that included:
- Financial compensation for the discrimination;
- A letter of reference.
