Police Probe Report of Radicalized Montreal Airport Employees – 640 Toronto

Federal and provincial elected officials sought to reassure the public after a report suggested some airport workers at Montreal’s airport may have been radicalized.

Quebec’s public security minister said Montreal police, the Quebec provincial force and the RCMP were working together to monitor the situation.

When an employee has been accused of radicalization, suggesting that workplace safety and the safety of the public is at risk, what are both the employee’s and the employer’s rights? Can the employee automatically be terminated? Should they be suspended while an investigation is performed?

An employment lawyer at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP joined host John Oakley on Global News Radio 640 Toronto to discuss workplace rights when workplace safety is allegedly threatened.
