I am a male taking parental leave soon. I work for a well recognized hospital but am not unionized as I am in professional services. I'm full-time permanent. This year my work has given me a promotion which came with 3 raises. One raise was given to me recently, after I told them about my parental leave notice.

I am a free lance sign Language Interpreter who was dismissed with out cause by Ontario Interpreting Services a branch of the Canadian Hearing Society. I have already sent a demand letter through another lawyer who tried to prove that I was an in fact an employee not a free lancer. While I do think this is true, we failed the first round, with the reply stating I was free lance and then allegations (unfounded and undocumented) about my performance.
