Joyce, who was on her third maternity leave, requested permission to telecommute after she
returned to work in order to continue breastfeeding for a second year. In the past, the parties had
agreed to short-term telecommuting arrangements (e.g., one day a week), but the parties were
now unable to agree to a longer-term plan, despite discussing various alternative options. For
example, one of these possible arrangements involved Joyce working in the office three days a
week (working from home the other two days) and breastfeeding her child at a nearby daycare
centre twice during the days she went to the office. However, this arrangement was unacceptable
to the employer, as Joyce wanted the time spent breastfeeding to be included in her paid hours.
As its operational concerns remained, the employer eventually denied her request. Joyce filed a
grievance (as a unionized employee), claiming she had been discriminated against on the basis of
sex and family status.
Question - Has the employer discriminated against Joyce on the basis of family status?
