My son is 18.5 years old working part time at Longos, Mississauga, ON (grocery store) for 3.5 years. Yesterday he was let go without notice for making inappropriate comments about team member's physical appearance" The comments where not inappropriate and were made outside the workplace. (Private conversation over the phone at the kitchen table) Apparently the person who filed the complaint was referring to a private conversation with my son back in April where is confined in him about her breast size and her concern that it was too big. (She is a minor Grade 12 at present). My son was called to HR yesterday just to find out that their conversation was brought to the workplace and treated as it happen in the place of employment. The very same night my son was let go the girl texted him apologizing for the hardship she has done and also admitted to over exaggerating the issue. What are my son's options?
