Topic: Ex-soldier says army fired her for requesting mat leave

I don't like the vague wording in the report much either, but understand why.

And in your scenario, it sounds like she is looking for a way to get out of paying back benefits.

That fits why the CF is not willing to enter mediation, and IF that is true, as a taxpayer and serving mbr, I would have to agree.

Excellent point on the 2 year contract, I was wondering "why 2 years" but couldn't guesstimate even.  It sounded to me like a position that wasn't an ARE.  I also think different LFAs have slightly different processes WRT B/As so...

Oh, give her a QDJM and be done with it.

Perhaps not the "can apply" part, but what about the "is awarded the position" part?  This is alittle outside the norm here, as she did apply for the position, and did not win the competition.  She is suggesting it was because she was pregnant;  perhaps it was not because of that.
...

It MUST have been because she was pregnant ( ); the other person who didn't get it MUST have been pregnant too I guess. Sarcasm off.

This article doesn't actually state that the CF hired anyone into that position. And, I've already gone through a couple of legitimate reasons why that could have occured a couple of posts ago --- which makes sense to me given the hundreds of B Class positions that were "cut" at the time period in question and the sheer volume of RegF pers drawndown in Afghanistan who were then returning to Canada and no longer had to be deployed themselves.
