I sent an email to our HR to indicate the potential for Right to Refuse work due to unsafe working conditions. She acknowledged the email. The very next morning at 0700hrs my contract was ended. THEN a few days later they indicated they did not "remember" my fixed-term contract was actually over Nov 30/18 not Oct 26/18. They offer a week's severance. I feel this was a reprisal for the Right to Refuse email.
I've emailed the Ontario Labour Relations Board and have to speak to Worker Advisory.
I'd like to get paid out for the remaining of my contract
