Montel Mickles says he took an emergency vacation day to visit his sick mother in the hospital. He was fired from Dana, got evicted, and is now fighting for ...

Apparently she told my friend that the UAW chairman was filing a grievance and that she was going to call me Monday. I got up at 10 in the morning to call Dana’s call-in line, so they had a lot of time for them to get my notice.” Dana’s call-in line is notoriously faulty and often cited by the company as a legitimate reason to terminate employment for workers who try to call in when they cannot make it to work. “On Monday, I called them because I had other stuff to do—I had a doctor’s appointment for my own general health and some other things. Mickles used an “emergency vacation day” to be able to visit his mother in the hospital and had a supervisor sign off on it. “My supervisor approved my emergency vacation day, he gave me the copy back and everything. Mickles tried to explain that he had received a confirmation number to be able to use an emergency vacation day on Friday and that it was approved by his supervisor. We went to court March 2 for the eviction and I had to be out by March 8. He said he once even volunteered to clean the bathrooms and break room when the janitorial staff was out sick, to be helpful. “They claimed it was for safety, but that doesn’t even make sense because a lot of the injuries that I saw were occurring on conveyor belts—things like people’s hands or hair getting caught in the belt, which have nothing to do with headphones,” Mickles said. We were working eight hours, we could sign up for overtime, coworkers were mostly friendly, and I really loved when we formed the LGBTQ committee at Dana that I was a part of. “When I first started at Dana, I actually told a lot of my friends that I worked with at a previous factory to come to Dana.

Although there was no sexual element to his conduct, he still made a very serious error of judgment,” the Commission said. He is not charged with a criminal offence where the standard of proof is ‘beyond all reasonable doubt.’ The Commission makes factual findings about what occurred on the balance of probabilities,” it explained, adding that what’s relevant is that “a reasonable satisfaction is attained.” The protection of residents is paramount,” it added. “I had used several responses in the past to distract M, such as calling her mother’s name, but this time I decided to blow a raspberry... I could see via the reflection of the mirror his face pressed against the bare skin of the lower left side of M’s stomach area and in what appeared to be the action of blowing a raspberry,” the complaint said. One of the residents and clients, “M,” is a woman in her late 20s. “M was standing alone in a private room with her carer, naked after a shower. “He had not appeared to have seen me open the door. At some point she hit her fist on the bathroom wall.” The employee said he had been a disability support worker for five years. “I didn’t do it. One day, after dinner, the employee helped M shower.
