Employment Lawyer on Rail Blockades and Temporary Layoffs – 640 Toronto
Via Rail says partial passenger train service will not resume this week — as was previously announced — while the company moves to temporarily lay off nearly 1,000 people.
On Tuesday, CN rail announced that it would temporarily lay off approximately 450 of its employees due to train cancellations and suspensions.
Both layoffs are a result of the blockades by protesters who oppose a British Columbia LNG pipeline.
Jon Pinkus is a Toronto employment lawyer, and an associate at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. He joined host Jeff McArthur on Global News Radio 640 Toronto to discuss the rights of employees during a temporary layoff.
