Some Examples of Harassment and Discrimination:

         

·    You are directly or indirectly told that you would be promoted in exchange to sexual favors.

·    You brought an action against your landlord and he or she takes revenge by harassing you.

·    You are fired as soon as the employer found out that you or your father, mother, brother or even boyfriend has criminal records.

·    You are a man of colour and reasonably believe that white employees are treated better or  are paid more than you are.

 If you believe that you are discriminated against or harassed due to your race, religion, sexual orientation and ethnic background, etc., we can help you file a complaint with Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario. If you are served with a complaint, we can defend you in a professional manner.
