Dear Olivia Strazzeri,
lam writing to request urgent regulatory intervention and immediate interim remedies regarding my active
Prohibited Action Complaint under Section 47 of the Workers Compensation Act, File Number 2026D316.
Today, June 12, 2026, my employer, British Columbia Rapid Transit Company (BCRTC), escalated their
discriminatory actions to the maximum extent. | received formal notification from Kevin Payne, Director of Labour
Relations, terminating my employment effective immediately. Crucially, BCRTC has canceled all of my medical,
dental, and health benefits with immediate effect.
lam requesting an immediate interim order from the Law and Policy Division to compel BCRTC to
reinstate my health benefits package while this complaint is adjudicated. The sudden stripping of medical
coverage inflicts immediate, severe hardship on my entire family, who rely on this plan for essential care. This is
a transparent attempt to exert financial and psychological duress to force me to abandon my safety complaints.
The Administrative Pretext vs. Documented Bad Faith In the attached termination letter, Mr. Payne attempts
to frame my dismissal as an administrative response to "abandonment" and a failure to provide medical
documentation by a June 3 deadline.
However, newly obtained Freedom of Information (FOI) disclosures completely dismantle this pretext and prove
that Mr. Payne is an active participant in the suppression of my safety reports. This termination is a direct,
retaliatory strike intended to punish me for exposing this internal coordination.
The Evidentiary Catalyst for Retaliation (Attached FOI Pages 9 & 10):
The attached FOI release reveals a March 18, 2026 email thread sent by Jason Mayo (Manager, Safety and
Environmental Compliance) to BCRTC leadership—which explicitly includes Kevin Payne as a primary recipient.
1. Active Interference: In this email, Mayo cheerfully announces the success of management's interference
in my initial WorkSafeBC claim, stating:
"| hope this sunny afternoon finds you well... Based on our submissions, WorkSafeBC has decided not to
accept Mark Holland’s claim as a workplace injury." This definitively proves that BCRTC management was
making active, coordinated "submissions" to WorkSafeBC to defeat my claim, contradicting any stance of
administrative neutrality.
2. Knowledge of Suppressed Evidence: The bottom of that exact same email chain shows that Mr. Payne
was concurrently receiving my formal notice regarding the "Staged Test Environment & Active Suppression
of Evidence" concerning the compromised Arcose noise survey at OMC1.
Kevin Payne is not an objective HR director enforcing attendance policies; the documents prove he was fully
briefed on the rigged safety test, actively participated in the executive group that submitted information to ensure
my claim was denied, and celebrated the result.
Because this retaliatory termination has been executed by the very individuals implicated in my active Section 47
investigation, my family's security requires immediate regulatory protection. | ask that WorkSafeBC utilize its
expedited oversight mechanisms to restore our health coverage immediately.
| have attached the following critical evidence:
