I was given an end of contract notice and was asked that my contract wont renew. I sustained a work place injury and after that I felt I was discriminated in many ways including social isolation. Other contract employees are working (their contract renews automatically) but I am asked to look for job positions . IIi was not given any reason of not renewing my contract but I know its due to my workplace injury related disability which is temporary and is getting better.

I was fired the day after I was out of a 5 day stay the hospital, but not given a reason for termination

I was indefinetely suspended due to criminal charges that was placed on me in 2011. these were only allegations.I had a few condition placed ap on me, that Canada Post could have work around this with a little effort. especially after being empolyeed with them for over 10 yrs. I was later convicted of these charges in 2013.I was with ought work for almost 2yrs...do you think perhaps I have case. oh, supposely I hired a miner to help me deliver the mail. which they felt they had grounds to dismiss me...

I was dismissed from Canada Post on May 16 2016.I was a rural mail carrier with the Bobcaygeon Ontario office. On the day I was dismissed they did so at the end of the day. They dismissed me for putting out house holders on my route without paying to do so. I was off work for depression for 6 months from July 16 2015 to Jan 4 2016. I am still under doctors care for my depression as well as seeing a therapist. So I am just wondering if I have a wrongful dismissal suit.

my husband works at an outdoor education centre, was put on salary the last year and a half, which basically only increased his hours at work for no further compensation. His boss would like that he live on site (to be available all the time) but he has afamily. He recently saw a posting online for pretty much his position with $10,000 less in pay, but required to live on site. He says his boss is notorious for making conditions so impossible that people just quit, so he doesn't have to fire them. Since he is on salary , if the boss starts reducing his hours does he still have to pay him the same? Also would this be considered a "new job" and the old one "phased out" therefore a reason to be dismissed? ( especially if he doesn't want to agree to stay there?) Should he just stand his ground and not quit to force the issue? and does the boss have grounds to let him go ?
