Add Comment Question: Hello, Let me start off by telling you a little about myself. I have been working as a granite installer for nine years until September sixth when I had a major back injury at work. I was off of work for a total of three weeks. For this time I was laid up bedridden with bulging discs and severe muscular trauma. I do have documentation of these events as I went through the whole wsib process. I returned to work on September the 27th but as the shop forklift driver. I have done a great job as far as I am concerned, but when Work has gotten slow my boss has chosen to lay me off with no finite return to work date in site. My boss and I have had some personal grievances but I have been working for the company for over five years now and am still suffering from back pain from when I literally had my back broken while doing my job. I know layoffs happen but quite frankly he didn’t feel the need to layoff his best friend whom has only been there for four months and is basically unskilled labour. I know i am acting preemptively but I was a boy scout and I always believe in being prepared. That, and well I’m not able to physically do my old job anymore because of an injury I sustained while just doing my job. Something about that just doesn’t seem right.
