If I filed a defamation slander case to the ministry of labor about a supervisor harassing me, discriminating against me, can I be fired for calling the MOL
Thank you for your question.
Generally, an action for defamation should be commenced in civil court, not the Ministry of Labour. If there is human rights discrimination, that can also be attached to a civil action or brought at the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario. All of these things should be done with the assistance of competent legal counsel.
An employer can terminate your employment for any reason, but if they do so because you contacted the Ministry of Labour they could be liable for reprisal damages.
