Human Rights

[Notsowild]

I am going to file a complaint with the Human Rights. I'm tired of all the mistreatment I've taken at work since my trauma.
I think I have a good case against them. After having a bogus union meeting with management it just made me more determined to get back at them. They agreed to give me 2 days pay back from my suspension BUT not remove it from my file. Of course the suspension was my boss's version of the incident. She was verbally abusing me, I got panicked and needed to flee and I accidentally bumped her ( she said I pushed her)

This bothers me so much because I am not a violent person. I've lived with a lot of violence from my father and ex. But I broke the cycle of abuse and raised my children the same way. So for them to say I'm violent just infuriates me.

Also I was supposed to get accommodation in July and I've never received it. Other than a graduated back to work plan, that was it. I have even asked HR for a copy of it. I've been waiting a month now.

Instead of healing from my PTSD I have to constantly fight for my rights. I feel they don't even think I'm human. I'm sure they'd love to fire me and are looking for a way.

Employment and mental health is just dicy, to be perfectly honest. I hope you do well with this...

Honestly - and you're not going to want to hear this - I think you may just need to accept the 2 days back pay as the outcome. If there isn't a witness, the verbal abuse is really hard to prove; verbal abuse vs. "being the boss". Since your union was there, bogus or not, and you accepted the ruling at the time (by taking the back pay), I just don't know how far you'd get.

Also I was supposed to get accommodation in July and I've never received it. Other than a graduated back to work plan, that was it. I have even asked HR for a copy of it. I've been waiting a month now.

This is more of a complaint, especially concerning Disabilities Act stuff. Do you have any paper trail about being promised the accommodation? What does your union say?

@joeylittle... I never excepted their two days pay. I rejected it. I wanted it taken off my file. It wasn't about the money ever. And there has been more than one incident with her. That was just the worst and last before my psychiatrist put me on stress leave. She knew I had PTSD last October on a treatment note from my doctor. And she ignored it.

That's where the " Human Rights" comes in. It is discrimination to discipline someone on mental health grounds. And as soon as she seen that note I should have had accommodations too. Not after my stress leave 6 months later.

I am still so pissed off at her and my union. I've been treated like dirt there and no one seems to care.

@anthony...thanks I hope I do well too. There was a Human Rights case in Toronto that was very similar to mine. It's was involving a police officer who developed PTSD on the job. He was disciplined for some infraction and then fired. The Human Rights said it was the employers responsibility to see he was having difficulties and try to help. And it was discrimination to discipline and fire him. He was reinstated and got lost wages plus pain and suffering money too. I could care less about any compensation for this. It's putting a label ( violent person ) on me that infuriates me so badly. I have PTSD I'm not and never will be like my abusers.
