SUBJECT: Claim 42647461 — Adverse Employment Action — Employer
Stalling — March 13, 2026

Dear Jaylin,

lam writing to formally submit a significant development in my claim
for your immediate attention and file documentation.

This morning, March 13, 2026, | received a letter via courier and email
from Austin Puder, Senior Manager, Train Operations at BCRTC, dated
March 13, 2026. The letter notifies me that | am being removed from the
Control Operator training program and transferred back to my previous
position as a Guideway Serviceperson, effective upon my return to work.

The stated reason is that | have missed a significant portion of training
due to my leave, and that the department does not have availability to
accommodate makeup training.

| want to be unequivocal: the reason | missed training is the workplace
acoustic injury | sustained at Workstation 3, OMC1 Control Training Room
on January 12, 2026 — the injury that is the subject of this claim. The
cause of my absence is BCRTC's own failure to remediate a documented
safety hazard after | filed MyHSE Safety Concern #75625 on January 22,
2026.

BCRTC is now using the consequence of their own negligence to remove me from a
career advancement position | earned through demonstrated

performance — including passing the written Control Operator examination with a
score of 89% while symptomatic from the injury.

| am submitting the following for immediate inclusion in my claim file:
