An injured temp agency worker fired for using his phone during a “modified” shift that an independent tribunal said provided him “little, if anything” to do. An injured autoworker fired for failing to meet production targets, after her employer assigned her a “modified” job that went against her doctor’s orders. An injured steel worker fired for taking a side job in exchange for food, after his employer didn’t pay him and he couldn’t afford to eat. The Star found 16 tribunal cases where the WSIB did rule that employers had breached their re-employment obligations, leading employers to appeal. Those cases saw a far lower success rate, with the tribunal siding with employers in just four of the cases.
