I am an underground Miner. I was injured on the job a few months ago and ever since i cane back to regular duty, my boss tried to fire me for having a drill bit in my lunchpail. I argues my point and was kept on. Two days later I was drilling a blast and was not able to finish. I was then accused of not installing ground support on my drill face and also improper drill face preparation. I, along with 6 personnel on my crew all know full well that the drill face was supported, and that i did appropriate drill fave preparation. He then requested i drive 330 km to the minesite off the clock to basicslly tell me inwas fired for this. This boss specifically has been on my and my brothers case since he started. Prior to this i was given 7 days off of punishment for not following procedures, and when asked for a copy of the procedure, there was none to be shown. I feel like ive been harassed by this man and as a result ive been terminated. I asked to see pictures he claims to have of my infractions and he refused. I asked who else was with him at the time and he also refused. Is he in the right and can he fire me without showing me proof?

This is clearly a wrongful dismissal. You are owed compensation. You need to speak with an employment lawyer in Sudbury as soon as possible.
