I am 29 weeks pregnant and was terminated Oct 29, with no warning. My position was sales in a pharmacy. I was told it was a business decision, as the dept wasn’t making any money. The dept is still open and work is ring divided between 3 current employees. I wasn’t offered a transfer of position within the store (there is a position currently needing to be filled). I was told about one and a half weeks after I told my employer I was pregnant that she didn’t know if there would be a position for me soon, as sales had been down for the past two years. I had 3 meetings following, with more being written up. I have also spoken to a counsellor for three years and have been speaking to her about the harassment and bullying from my supervisor. I’m not sure if I have a case for wrongful dismissal, as they have fired me without cause and offered a 14 week settlement.
