I was dismissed by employer due to cost reducing program through personnel reduction. I had two more work colleagues that had the same duties as me, but they were not impacted by this program. Even one of them has less experience, skills and time in company than me. Would it make sense to open the case of wrongful dismissal?

I was dismissed by my employer , reason as m on my roe paper ,m for dismissal .went on vacation for 5 days . When I return to work ,they call me to the office ,told they are fiving me 2 weeks. Told me I was lay off because of downsizing. But I was not paid for the last 2 weeks. Is it right to do that.

we live where we work and have been wrongfully dismissed can they force us out in February with children?

We were terminated without cause. 2 weeks after we had written a letter about harassment to our human resources department. My question is can they do this and do I have any recourse.

The School Bus Company I have worked for the the past 30 years has introduced a new employment requirement to their policy, for drivers over 70 years of age. Ministry of Transport requires us to have a medical every year after 65. We have to have a complete Drivers Medical completed every year (after age 65) ccompleted by our Family Doctor. In this medical is a question of our Mental Competency. If the Doctor If in it the Doctor markes it that we had a problem with our Mental Competency, we are referred to a Drive Test Centre. No one can just phone up and have a Drive Test evaluation, they must be referred by a Doctor or Medical Centre. Our company has made arrangement with a specific Drive Test Centre to have all their Driver that are over 70 to have this test. We (the Drivers) are putting our Driver's Licence at risk by doing this. If for some reason, you fail, your Driver's Licence can be taken from you immediately. Not just your School Bus Licence, but your regular G Licence is gone. Our employer says - well you just go back to your Doctor and have him state that you are not mentally incompetent....what if you do not have a Family Doctor and have to go to an orphan clinic. Is this legal????? Can the demand that you do this in order to keep your job???
