A claim of discrimination filed by a government employee whose work-from-home arrangement had been cancelled by her manager has been dismissed by the Federal Court of Appeal. The employee, Anjie Tarek-Kaminker, is a federal Crown prosecutor in Toronto and a married mother of five.
“Not every conflict between one’s professional obligations and one’s family responsibilities constitutes prima facie discrimination,” Justice Anne Mactavish wrote in the decision, as first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter.
