The BC Human Rights Tribunal dismissed a worker's complaint against his employer and union because merely asserting anxiety did not provide evidence that a protected disability prevented him from complying with a workplace mask requirement. Although anxiety can qualify as a disability, the missing evidence of a functional barrier meant the complaint had no reasonable prospect of success, without creating a blanket rule about mask mandates.
