The BC Human Rights Tribunal will hear a complaint from an anti-smart meter group.
The tribunal has ruled the group “Citizens for Safe Technology Society” can bring forward its complaint against BC Hydro.
It alleges the utility discriminated against people diagnosed with electromagnetic hypersensitivity told to avoid to exposure to wireless technology — by forcing them to install “smart meters.”
The group’s “representative complaint” — which is brought forward like a class action, originally wanted to represent anyone who’s been told to stay away from wireless technology for medical conditions.
But the tribunal has told the society to file an ammendment within thirty days.
The decision only accepts the complaint for filing, and hasn’t yet determined if it actually has merit.
