DECEMBER  02, 2025

Worker3 was employed by Imperial as a full-time cleaner. She worked at various locations, including regular weekdays at Alderney Gate during the day and Northbrook Police Training Facility in the evenings.

Worker3 regularly worked more than forty-eight (48) hours per week but was never paid at an overtime rate.

Worker3’s mother is employed by Imperial.

In November 2025, Worker3 was aware of the Union organizing campaign and was aware that Worker1 and Worker2 were supporters of the Union organizing campaign.

On Thursday, November 27, 2025, Imperial manager, [Imperial manager], told Worker3 Imperial had terminated Worker1’s employment. Worker3 knew Worker1 was a Union supporter.

On Thursday, November 27, 2025, when Worker2 arrived for his shift shortly after 4:00 pm, Worker3 told Worker2 [Imperial manager] told her he was not welcome to complete his shift. When Worker2 asked Worker3 why he was being fired, and that he did nothing wrong, Worker3 said she was not sure, but that he could direct any questions to [Imperial manager] at her office the following Monday.

Imperial asked Worker3 to work the Sunday shift at Alderney Gate that Worker1 would usually work. [Imperial manager] informed Worker3 she and another Worker would be paid cash (i.e., no deductions) for the shift.

Worker3 was responsible for providing orientation of a new employee assigned to the Alderney Gate site. During that orientation, Worker3 told the new employee that Imperial terminated Worker2 and Worker1 because of their involvement in forming a union.

Between November 27 and December 1, 2025, Worker4 told Worker3 that Worker4 and her brother, Worker5, told [Imperial Management] that Worker2 was responsible for campaigning to organize the union.

On Monday, December 1, 2025, Imperial directed Worker3’s mother, also an employee of Imperial, to attend a meeting in the Imperial office at 2:30 p.m. During that meeting, [Imperial Management] asked the mother questions about the Union. The mother responded with words to the effect of, “I want nothing to do with this.” [Imperial Management] responded, “That’s the confirmation we need.”

When she was leaving the meeting, Worker3’s mother asked for the company gas card used to pay for fuel to travel between sites. [Imperial Management] said words to the effect of, “No, none of that any more.”

Worker3’s mother told Worker3 what took place in the meeting.

Worker3 was distraught that her mother was being targeted. Worker3 believed Worker1and Worker2 had been terminated because of their support for the Union, as she told the new Worker. In an effort to protect her mother from further reprisals, Worker3 resigned her employment. At about 3:00 pm that day, Worker3 texted [Imperial Management] words to the effect of, “I’m done. I quit. I can’t do anything right. I didn’t want to join the Union but I was convinced. I left my pass at the Northbrook Police Centre.”

When Worker3 received her final pay cheque, she noticed her hourly wage rate for her work at the Northbrook Police Training Facility was decreased from $24.50 to $17.00, despite it being a site where work is paid at a living wage, per the client, Halifax Regional Municipality, requirements.
