A longtime worker for Coca-Cola Canada Bottling Limited in Calgary was recently terminated after being seriously injured on the job two years ago. Coke Canada Bottling cited a legal principle that says keeping him employed would cause the company “undue hardship.” A labour expert says the legal argument is difficult to prove, especially with a company of that size.
