Hello,
I am an employee of a private company for 16 years, non Union. I held the position of health and safety coordinator, for almost 10'years of the 16. In May of 2015 I went off on sick leave, we did not have short term so the first 17 weeks were on unemployment and then my LTD, through Great west life kicked in. I was not treated well by especially one of the owners, he wouldn't speak to me, avoided going into the same room as me, tell people not to bring me into his office if there is a problem. Unfortunately I could handle this only so long, and then the other owners son started in the office, at 25 he is just like his uncle. I brought this to my General managers attention numerous times, and he has also witnessed the behaviour of these 2 individuals, however never did anything, instead was advised to suck it up! So I am off on LTD, and I find out that the position I held was given to yet another of the owners son, after about 5 months of me being off. at no time since I have been off has any one from w.o. Stinson and son ever contact me to find out how I am doing. Recently a representative of Great west life, spoke with my employer and it was confirmed that my position is no longer available, but that when I am ready to return to,work they would come up,with something. Oh, also none of the medical doctors, or physiologist which I have seen want me to return to this business as it is a toxic environment for me and detrimental to my health. So I do not want to accept just any position, I would like to stay within my field and therefore would like to obtain an appropriate severance package in lieu of any employment offer.
I look forward to hearing from you
SAndra
