The applicant, who self-identifies as black and a Seventh-Day Adventist, alleged that his race, colour, and creed were factors in the termination of his employment.
The respondent employer maintained that the termination was a layoff due to a downturn in business, and the applicant was selected because he had the least seniority among senior technicians.
The Tribunal found the respondent's manager to be a credible witness and accepted that the layoff was for financial reasons based on seniority.
The Tribunal concluded that the applicant failed to establish on a balance of probabilities that his race, colour, or religion played a part in the termination decision.
The application was dismissed.
