Show Notes
57-year-old Shawne Hopkins, a long-time Coca-Cola Canada Bottling worker, lost his job after a workplace injury. Hopkins suffered severe injuries from a malfunctioning overhead door in 2024 and was fired over the phone, with the company citing undue hardship. Despite decades of service, Hopkins received no severance or benefits. The company offered a one-time payment in exchange for a non-disclosure agreement, which Hopkins refused. His union has filed a grievance, but a decision may take months. Hopkins is now being retrained as a one-handed typist by the Workers Compensation Board Alberta, but the future remains uncertain.
