Answer to Q6.
Employers in BC can dismiss a worker for any reason.  The BC Human Rights
Code prohibits discrimination, but you would have to prove that was why you
were dismissed.  The best job security comes from being a member of a union.
You cannot be fired without just cause if you are protected by a collective
agreement.
