Commission to hear disability complaint


CBC News

The P.E.I. Human Rights Commission will hear a former employee’s complaint of discrimination by her employer on the basis of disability in December.

Sue Campbell was an employee at Kent Building Supplies. After she was hired by Kent, she was injured and says she could no longer perform her normal job. The commission investigated her complaint and decided it should go to a full hearing before the commission.

“The complainant alleges … that her employer didn’t accommodate properly to her limitations because of her disability,” commission lawyer Yolande Richard told CBC News Friday.

Richard said Kent Building Supplies denies there was any discrimination.

The company disputes that Campbell was not able to perform the job she was hired to do. There is also dispute over whether she was injured on the job.
