On Oct. 9, by a vote of 7-0, the Supreme Court of Ontario, ruled that workers who were dismissed without notice would have a right to the bonuses, commissions and other non-salary forms of compensation they would have received if they had advance warning they were going to be fired.
Justice Nicholas Kasirer explained, ''The purpose of damages in lieu of reasonable notice is to put the employee in the position they would have been in had they continued to work through to the end of the notice period.”
Since the entire legal apparatus exists to conserve for the robber class the wealth they have stolen from the working class, one may wonder why an integral part of it would take such a stance.
The answer is probably to reduce the level of working class militancy that would otherwise exist and therefore maintain the status-quo.
