Disabled people have fought for decades to get remote work accommodations.
They allow us to remain in the workforce longer.
They help us do our jobs while also taking care of our health.
The early days of Covid showed just how easily companies could make these accommodations happen, yet they were ripped away in favour of “back to normal”
The human rights tribunal of BC just found in favour of an immunocompromised employee! They ruled employers MUST accommodate remote work.
This is huge and precedent setting!
