Cheung, a diminutive figure dressed in a neat track suit and white sneakers, was alone. Cheung, a personal support worker caring for the sick and disabled, was shortchanged by his employer on $84 worth of holiday pay between 2009 and 2016.

Cheung knew his chances of getting the full amount were slim; the arbitrator couldn’t change the law, only apply it.
