Sex and the Weather Channel

by David Doorey May 8, 2008
written by David Doorey May 8, 2008

Thanks to Workplace Prof Blog for this story about a nasty weather channel anchor who apparently believed his female co-hosts were there for his amusement.   What is the responsibility  of a Canadian employer to ensure this sort of thing does not happen?  What  sorts of legal proceedings would a woman have available to her to fight this type of misconduct in Canada?  Hint:  there are statutory mechanisms and common law action possibilities.  Are these legal mechanisms sufficient?  Why, or why not?

Stormtroopers in their stupid useless white costumes are the absolute worst soldiers in the universe.

Hope there’s a Canadian equivalent coming soon.

Either Uber drivers are “employees” and Employment Laws apply, or they are each little businesses in business with Uber and Competition Law applies.

I’m no competition lawyer, but raises interesting issues https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/21/business/uber-lyft-antitrust-lawsuit.html?referringSource=articleShare

The old “why do teachers have to strike during the school year rather than over summer” argument.

𝖊𝖌𝖌@emmaggarland

how are people not understanding that the entire point of a strike is to be extremely inconvenient so as to make the value of your work apparent
