My son was hired at a union shop in Whitby. He left a full time job to take this position. He did have a physical at some point. He started at the factory on Oct.27, 2014. Last Wed., Nov. 12th, he was let go. They had noticed watching him work, he was doing stretches etc. and checked that he was off from work last summer for a few days due to a back problem. They dismissed him due to the Back trouble. This seems totally unfair since he left a full time good job to try a new venture with a future since it was a Union shop. Does he have any recourse.
He needs to talk to the union. Only the union is allowed to help him in this matter. If the union refuses, there is not much that he can do otherwise. That is the big problem of being part of a union.
