A firefighter in Vancouver, Canada has successfully challenged the city's policy of denying sick pay to firefighters who are injured or ill, winning a significant legal victory. The firefighters argued that the policy was discriminatory and violated their rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The court ruling has set a precedent that could have implications for other public sector workers in the city and beyond, potentially leading to changes in sick leave policies and greater protections for employees who face health challenges.
