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

http://www.bchrt.bc.ca/decisions/200..._BCHRT_324.pdf

Thought this was pretty funny. An employee in a Canadian McDonalds sued McDonalds for being fired over the refusal to wash their hands because of a skin condition. And won! The court also ruled that its a basic human right to effectively work with dirty hands. Fascism marches on.

You obviously didn't read any of the article otherwise you would have known that the person involved is a woman. While I didn't read the whole thing Page 57 is interesting.

I don't need to read the article to know that, if someone's going to prepare food, they need to wash their hands after using the restroom. Not doing so isn't hygienic.

You wanna' eat a Big Mac made by her after she wipes? Kinda' gives new meaning to the term "special sauce", don't you think?

The point of the lawsuit was the McDonald's did nothing accomodate her even though they were legally obligated to do so. The lawsuit makes a strong case that there were many possibilities to assign her non-food handling responsibilities. It's even outlined that had McDonald's tried to accomodate their employee and nothing could be reached, that they then had every right to fire her. It's obvious that you still haven't read anything from the article.

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).

For those who really want to see how Orwellian and Bolshevik our "Human Rights Commissions" are in nature please visit the following blogsite:

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.

You want scary; welcome to Soviet Canada! Read the following...

A day in the life of Canada's kangaroo court - Ezra Levant
A secret trial - Ezra Levant
The privacy police investigate the human rights police - Ezra Levant
No-one is above, no-one is beneath - Ezra Levant

Tell me this is not along the lines of the infamous Stalin Show Trial process minus the executions and gulags...for now!

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

These are all the same bogus arguements that are usually made for "tort reform" which is really code for "take away the right to punish corporations via punitive damages".

I would not call it bogus when Canadian Human Right investigators/employees/former employees can become members of Stormfront and VNN; participate as members for the obvious purpose of entrapping people and subsquently secure convictions against the people they catch. The Human Rights Commissions do not target corporations as much as they do politically correct private citizens.

I would also call it an abuse of process when the CHRC can hack into the wireless networks of innocent private citizens to troll for victims on racialist websites. In fact Marc Lemire recently filed a criminal complaint over this issue...

The Freedom-Site: Criminal complaint filed against Canadian “Human Rights” Commission for theft of WiFi signals in order to spy on Canadians and post racist messages on websites
RichardWarman.Com -> Victims of Richard Warman

And I would certainly call it an abuse of process when the CHRC invokes Section 37 of the Canada Evidence Act to protect their operatives from questions posed by defense council as to their investigative tactics.

This is pure abuse of a legal process; the fact that a former CHRC employee can file over a dozen complaints to his former bosses in politically motivate complaints AND WIN 100% OF THE TIME wreaks of interest conflict and outright corruption on the part of the CHRC.

RichardWarman.Com -> Warman and the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC)

The facism is in the govt forcing a business to follow contradictory laws. Make everyone wash their hands, but if someone refuses you have to let them work without washing their hands. And if you cant follow both rules, well fine you.

That just seems like liberal nonsense, not fascism. Corporatism is a bulwark of fascism, and a fascist government isn't going to screw the corporate juntas that define it.

What the fuck does any of that have to do with someone not washing their hands at McDonald's?

Oh, wait, that's right... Nothing.

But far be it for you to actually stay on topic...
