Re: Canadian Tribunal: Food Service Employees have a right not to wash their hands

In which direction is "fascism" marching? While I think it's sound business policy, laws forcing employers to in turn force employees to wash their hands isn't exactly a paragon of freedom. And, besides, I doubt that employees would be rewarded for suing employers in a fascist society (or even allowed to, for that matter).
Depends on who the fascists in charge are. If they are liberal democrats (who demonstrated their lack of respect for the law at Justice Alito's confirmation hearings when they lamented that he did not seem to favor the "little guy" in his rulings...ignorning the fact that judges are not SUPPOSED to favor any group, as Alito himself responded. He made it quite clear that it if the law in question supports the "little guy's" argument, that is how he would rule; and if the law supports the "big guy's" argument, that to is how he would rule)

The "fascism" (a bit strong of a word I would admit) here is the law requiring an employeer to make accomodations in the first place.
