Ask your question and an employment lawyer in Ontario, BC or Alberta will answer in minutes
Hey there, I have been working at the Ymca since October. Before that I had been volunteering for almost a year at the Y. Recently I was fired from the Ymca summer camps by cause of a complaint made by a lady from the public. The complaint reached head office and that was that. The reason they insisted was that I am a 'possible threat to the children'. I have 6 character references from much longer-term ymca coworkers stating otherwise. Also, the more I ask around to my former coworkers to confirm reasons and people head office supposedly spoke to, the less concrete their reasons become. I was accorded no warnings before that, verbal or written, nor had any comments constructive or otherwise been made on my conduct and/or interactions with the children. I have already contacted labour board and they told me in the case of this termination applying to all ymca programs, to speak to a lawyer. I really love the kids and don't want to be cut off from the only job I've ever enjoyed. So here's me asking: do I have a case for wrongful dissmissal or am I in dream land?
We would need more information with respect to the nature and specifics of the complaint. Feel free to contact our office for a free half-hour consultation.
