I worked for a "placement agency" who placed me with a company for 4 months. During this time, I was required to take off two weeks of work for medical reasons and all all documentation. doctors notes, advanced notice, etc. Yet I was still dismissed with cause ....I realize that working for the placement agency did limit my rights slightly but was shocked to have been given approval for time off and then suddenly released without warning.

I am a swing driver at Wasteco driving a front end truck, I get regularly moved around from truck to truck depending on who has not shown up for their duties on any given day, sun. Ohh ya or mon you could say as I start at 11:30pm every night, now on Sat Dec 15 morning I was sent out with another driver as we do not have enough trucks for the fleet of drivers we have, on any given day we could have 4-5 trucks in the shop not driveable, so on this day as I was out with the other driver learning his route they called me back in to do cover Wally’s run at 1:10 am in the morning, the only truck they had was his and it’s a standard truck that I have told them since day 1 of my employment that I don’t drive standard trucks . So I was given automatic trucks to drive as I was employed by Wasteco, this night with a few of the automatic trucks broken down in the yard all they said was you’re doing Wally’s run in Wally’s truck which I explained I’ve never driven these trucks and with no training I don’t feel safe for myself or anybody on the road for that matter, I refused to drive the truck at 1:15 am on Sat Dec 15th and went home. Now I would like to know my rights on a wrongful termination thx

I am a Union employee who is being "bullied and harassed" into resignation. My employer is "conspiring" in bad faith to orchestrate a dismissal for "just cause" by deliberately "disciplining me" unjustly. The Union is complicit in dealing with the matter. What are my options legally speaking.
