The applicant, a security guard, alleged discrimination on the basis of race, colour, place of origin, and ethnic origin, as well as reprisal, following his termination.
The Tribunal found no evidence to support the allegations of racial discrimination regarding a workplace altercation and subsequent disciplinary meeting.
However, the Tribunal found that the respondents' impromptu decision to terminate the applicant's employment immediately after he alleged racial discrimination constituted a reprisal under section 8 of the Human Rights Code.
The applicant was awarded damages for lost wages and injury to dignity, feelings, and self-respect.
