Boston Pizza International

My son worked for Boston Pizza in Guelph Ontario. Started as a manager and worked his way up to assistant regional manager.
During his time at Boston Pizza he gave 100% of his time towards his career with the company. Even on his days off he would often be called in for issues he only knew how to fix.
After a few years with Boston Pizza my son was diagnosed with a very rare kidney disease. Hoping to be able to treat the kidney desease they had him on very high dose of several strong medication like pretnozone but would Literally crawl to work every day not wanting to miss a shift for almost two years. Determine to take his responsibility seriously he worked until the very last day when as he was taken to the hospital with kidney failure. They had to operate immediately to insert the catheter in his chest to begin dialysis the very next day.
While he was no longer able to work until a kidney donor was found Boston Pizza had no choice but to find someone to take over his position and then preceded to take away his benefits after they had agreed he could keep them as long as he paid half.
While going through the process of finding a kidney transplant donor my son had to show proof to the hospital in London Ontario that he would have benefits that would allow him to pay for his drugs after the transplant. While doing so we found out that his benefits were cut off without explanation. It made it very complicated for him to apply for trillium drug plan while getting ready for a possible donor.
Chris received a transplant December 2018. When he recovered and told he could return to work he was advised that his job was no longer there for him and that the best they could do is to give him a part time job. It left my son under financial hardship that he is still trying to pay for on his credit cards.
I guess my issue with Boston Pizza International is how your company could be that cold and cruel to not only someone who cared about the company and stayed until the last day he was taken to the hospital but to be that unempathetic toward another human being.
After almost two years my son did not even receive his Record Of Employment nor any kind of severance or termination pay what so ever.
I wonder how the public would feel about this storey? My son is one of the kindest person I have ever know always putting other first. He now is left with the opinion that you can not trust anyone.
