Many of our union long term employees are being terminated for tthings like “time fraud” (leaving early without permission.

Many have 25-30 years service of unionized service. We work for Toronto District School Board. What do you recommend we should do should this inevitably happen again? Many thanks.

Dismissal without notice while in training
