Help with potential labour discrimination
Hey ladies, hoping someone here might have advice or a recommendation.
I’m on mat leave from a big agency network and I’m dealing with what looks like pregnancy/parental‑leave discrimination around a promised promotion (promotion verbally approved before leave, walked back and never submitted once I was out). I’m in Toronto and feeling pretty out of my depth with next steps.
I’m looking for:
• An employment / human rights lawyer in Ontario who has experience with maternity or parental‑leave cases
• Ideally someone who offers a free consult and, if possible, works on a contingency / “no win, no fee” or low‑upfront‑cost basis
• Advice on going through HRTO / HRLSC
If you’ve worked with anyone you’d recommend (or had a bad experience I should avoid), I’d really appreciate any referrals, DMs, or general advice on where to start.
Thank you so much in advance – this whole thing has been a lot to carry on top of new‑mom life.
