StoneMtn Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 How about going to some Canadian Court websites, and look at judgments about "wrongful dismissal" of employees of banks.Those tend to be the issues that raise the eyebrows of the powers that be at banks when hiring/firing other employees.(If you find a judgment that particularly interests you, and you'd like some clarification on it, I'd be happy to take a look as well.)

Gateaux Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I guess something unique about the banking industry is that it was male dominated at a time and now there's ladies everywhere!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattm Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 [color:purple]They must not have enough money to pay their employees all that well because they're open all day when I have to work and closed when I get off and need to see a teller.

d_rawk Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 afro poppa - I'm not sure I really get the question. Could you give a rough example of what those unique aspects might be? (or maybe this is where you are struggling, so can't?)I can think of one or two people I could fire the question off to who might be in a position to give some decent answers, but I'm not really sure yet what I would be asking ...

afro poppa Posted March 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 The thing is I am not sure what the "unique aspects" would be and where I would find them, which is why I am on here asking about it.I should be alright on my own I guess, I don't want anyone to really go out of there way for me!thanks for your help ya'll!

StoneMtn Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Well, as I said, you would probably get a good idea of the unique challenges banks face over employees by looking at reasons their former employees sued them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneMtn Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Naaaaah. You don't owe me anything, but don't hesitate to PM me if you find a case that seems interesting, if you are unsure of some of the subtleties as set out in the judgment by the judge(s). As I said, I'd be happy to read anything you find and give you my own take on the salient points. Also, when you're reading, don't only look at why the bank was sued. Also consider the reasons the bank provides for why they may have fired someone, because that may also reveal some of the unique concerns banks have over their staff. (For instance, I seem to remember a case when a bank employee used to throw a "block" of money into his garbage can every day by his feet. If the bank were to ever be robbed, he planned to take that "block" [apparently a lot of money] home and blame it on the robbery. He was surprised this was problematic, seeing how the insurance company would cover the loss anyway!)The Supreme Court of Canada judgment-website (run by "Lexum" at the U of Montreal) would probably be a good place to start. Run a Google search for "Lexum" and "Supreme Court of Canada". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
