Marrello v. Duca in Toronto Star

Donovan Vincent of the Toronto Star covered the ongoing case in Marrello v. Duca, quoting Omar Ha-Redeye,

Omar Ha-Redeye, her lawyer, says she mentioned the word pregnancy during the phone call. Her period was a few weeks late, and she wasn’t feeling well when she asked to see the doctor.

In an interview, Marrello’s lawyer said given Marrello’s years of service, if it believed she wasn’t a good fit in her new role, the more appropriate response should have been to give her more training or if that wasn’t feasible, a warning. As a last resort a new position should have been found for her within the organization, the lawyer argues.

“As opposed to simply terminating her, coincidentally after finding out she is pregnant,” Ha-Redeye said. He called the timing “very suspicious.”
