Attempts at accommodation of
Ottawa worker met with frustration
AN ONTARIO worker who
didn't fully cooperate with her
employer's accommodation ef-
forts didn't receive the award she
hoped for after being dismissed.
The worker was a part-time
personal support worker at two
Home for the Aged facilities run
by the City of Ottawa. In 2006, the
worker injured her shoulder while
working for another employer.
As a result, she had significant
restrictions on what she could do
at the workplace. In 2007, she be-
gan a leave of absence from her
position with the city. The worker
Ontario school board utility person
can't stop complaining about supervisor
AN ONTARIO school board employee just
couldn't stop bad-mouthing a supervisor, despite
warnings, suspensions and finally, termination.
The worker was employed as a utility person
for the Limestone District School Board, a public-
school board covering the City of Kingston, Ont.
and surrounding areas, hired in 2002.
In April 2017, the school board suspended the
worker for three days after she made disparaging
comments about the operations supervisor. In
March 2018, the worker was suspended again —
this time for five days — for similar misconduct as
well as an allegation that she followed the supervi-
sor through town.
The union grieved the suspensions and reached
a settlement with the school board, including an
acknowledgment that it was inappropriate to make
disparaging comments about co-workers, supervi-
sors or management and the settlement was confi-
dential — disclosure would result in the forfeiture
