Angela Sena, a Toronto Catholic school teacher who was fired from her job after a mask dispute and altercation outside a Starbucks store during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, has been reinstated to her position.
A grievance was brought by Ms. Sena’s union and, in a decision released on Aug. 2, arbitrator Bram Herlich ruled that the teacher’s termination was to be rescinded and replaced with a one-month suspension. He ordered that Ms. Sena be compensated for any monetary losses related to being fired, and to be reinstated to her job without loss of seniority or benefits.
