Re Halifax (Regional Municipality) And Halifax Professional Firefighters Assn Local 268 (Mackenzie), Innis Christie

Innis Christie Collection

The Union and Grievor believe the Employer discriminated against the latter by not returning him to an agreed position after an absence due to illness. They also believe the Employer failed to accommodate the Grievor's return to the work. The remedy requested was a return to his former position, or to the agreed position after his illness, and damages. The Employer was concerned about both legal and moral issues in the event that the Grievor was not able to fully perform his duties.
