My name is Jon Pinkus and I am an employment lawyer at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP. If you are part of a union, then your only recourse is the union itself, who can decide whether or not to bring a grievance on your behalf. If you are not part of a union, then we may be able to help. Establishing cause for dismissal on the basis of off-duty conduct is difficult, but there are cases where posting comments on Facebook can be cause for dismissal. It will entirely depend on the circumstances of your case. If it is not cause for dismissal (and in most cases where cause is asserted it is improper), your entitlements would be significant.
