Employment Lawyer Lior Samfiru, of Samfiru Tumarkin LLP, has issued a letter to MPs throughout Canada, urging Parliament to create a “Sears Act” to recognize employee rights and severance pay during bankruptcy proceedings, so that the debacle that Sears Canada employees experienced can be avoided when the next large-scale business closes its doors for good.
Lior Samfiru is a Toronto Employment Lawyer and partner at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. He joined The Morning Show on Global News Radio 640 Toronto to discuss the Sears Act.
