i have been working at a subway in Allison Ontario for 4 months now. My title is Sandwich Artist. i had gotten off work yesterday and got a very rude text asking why i didn't bake bread before i left. There was one other person working with me who had been sitting for over an hour doing nothing at the end of her shift. when she had left, i had to help train a new employee for an hour before my shift ended. i stayed 15 minutes later than the end of my shift to help out. i come into work today and am told that i am fired because i cant make sure the store runs smoothly when the manager is gone. is this right? i feel like i was wrongfully fired. At the very least i deserve some notice. That other employee was not fired or written up either. no consequences.

My son who has worked for Del Monte for over 5 months processing orders of fruit received a phone call just before he left for work this morning telling him not to come in as he had been fired. He was told that he had been seen eating a piece of fruit in the processing room the previous day which isn't allowed. He doesn't deny that he ate one small piece of fruit but this occurred at the end of the day when everyone except him and his line leader had left(all the days orders had been processed) . He and his line leader were disposing of leftover waste fruit into the garbage and he ate one small piece of it. This was the reason given for his dismissal. My son has never had any previous warnings or issues with Del Monte. Can you give us some advice about what his rights are.

my wife completed her probation and received benefits less than 2 weeks ago after working at a car dealership in the office full time since October 2015. She went to work today and they terminated her on the spot and escorted her out of the building. The verbal reason they gave was lack of productivity which is completely false. Is she entitled to any compensation? I feel that she was unjustly let go/wrongfully dismissed.
