This is a human rights issue. Your first steps is to take this up with your union. If no union, or if union does not handle to your satisfaction, your next step is to file a claim with your provincial or federal human rights commission.
Employer’s have an onerous obligation to accommodate an employees’ disability to the point of undue hardship. They also have an obligation to enter into this process in good faith, and not giving ultimates and bullying tactics.
On the other hand, you have to make sure you have given them all the medical information they need to know what accommodations you may need.
