CN Rail wrong for punishing safe worker CBC British Columbia
More than a year before he died, CN rail disciplined Ken Lequesne for refusing to work in unsafe conditions. Now, the Canadian Industrial Relations Board has ruled CN breached the labour code.Lequesne died in a train wreck near McBride last May.
But Tim Secord of the United Transportation Union calls this a moral victory. "It's pretty important," Secord says. "It's a vindication. It also sends a message to the other employees that Ken Lequesne was right on the money when he exercised his right to refuse unsafe work, and that those other employees, if they find themselves in a similar situation, should consider doing the same thing."------------------------------------------- posted 7:39 AM :: reference link ::
