Really and what will their insurance company have to say about it. These courts are out of their freaking minds and the Teamsters are no better, i get they have to stand for the members but chickie poo through that all away when she cracked the first one in the cab at work Immediate dismissal as there is zero tolerance for drinking and driving especially in a class 8 truck.
I agree but she advised the company a week after she the accident she had a drinking problem. This makes no sense. I could understand if it was a week before and Robert did nothing but a week after they are being seen as cold hearted! I hope they win this appeal.
right. which now means the company has to do their utmost best to help the driver. its ridiculous but this is the rights we have in Canada
Regardless if the disease is cancer, alcoholism or drug addiction, you can’t fire someone just because they are sick. That is the “technicality” at play here. However, in this case the company didn’t know the employee was sick until after the accident and even if they had asked the employee prior to the accident if there was an alcohol problem requiring attention, who is to say what she would have answered.
so I can be a cleptomaniac and work at a bank - and cannot get fired....
