The applicant alleged discrimination in employment on the basis of disability, race, colour, ethnic origin, and place of origin.

Following a workplace shoulder injury, the applicant was placed on light duties.

He alleged the employer failed to accommodate his restrictions by assigning him sweeping duties and later assigned him demeaning 'garbage' work due to his race and origin.

The Tribunal dismissed the application, finding no evidence that the work assignments or medical staff's treatment were influenced by prohibited grounds.

The assigned work was within his medical restrictions and part of a legitimate recycling initiative.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging harassment and failure to accommodate a workplace injury.

The respondents requested the application be dismissed under section 45.1 of the Human Rights Code, arguing the issues were previously resolved through grievance settlements and a full and final release signed by the applicant in 2006.

The applicant claimed he entered the settlements under duress and while suffering from a drug dependency that clouded his judgment.

The Tribunal found insufficient medical evidence to support the applicant's claim of drug dependency or duress.

Concluding that the prior settlements appropriately dealt with the substance of the application, the Tribunal dismissed the application to avoid duplication of proceedings and ensure finality.
