Unions case against mandate

New term of employment

Anti-worker mandate

Poorly maintained government offices

Summer of discontent threat

The federal government has announced that come September, employees are expected to work in the office 3 days a week. The union representing federal employees has announced plans to fight this mandate, citing various problems with the announcement including the lack of warning given to employees. Do private sector employees have the right to remote work? Can employers terminate employees who refuse these requests?

Stan Fainzilberg, an employment lawyer and Partner at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP joined Mike Smyth on 980 CKNW to discuss the federal government's mandate and employee rights regarding remote work.
