SHELBURNE, N.S. – An independent human rights commission will convene Friday as a follow-up to the James Holland's mandatory retirement case.
Holland was a Shelburne-area bus driver who fought and won his battle against the Tri-County Regional School Board. On Dec. 11, 2013, a board of inquiry found that the forced retirement went against the Nova Scotia Human Rights Act.
He entered retirement in 2011.
The human rights commission will follow up to discuss the legal remedies owed to Holland by the school board and the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE).
Details of what’s owed to Holland have not been released.
Involuntary retirement hasn’t been allowed in Nova Scotia since 2009.
