My fiancee has gotten a severe form of RSI due to really ****** ergonomics at her workplace (Costco.) I know it is bad ergonomics because I had RSI in the past for the same reason and when I told my employer they immediately did something about it.
Costco, on the other hand, has done jack ****. She's had to take leave due to pain and is being unpaid. We've contacted WSIB who said they will likely not cover this as "it is your employer's responsibility to ensure ergonomics are okay."
She has contacted the head of her department who has done nothing. Their "health and safety rep" got the "meat manager" to do an "ergonomic assessment" which resulted in even more pain.
Doctors have pointed out that it is obviously nerve compression.
At this point I am at a loss for what to do so I turn to you guys who are older and wiser.
Can we sue Costco? And is there anything we can do prior to that step?
