Comment Not exactly legal here in Canada... (Score 1) 106
Moving people's place of work more than some fairly short distance - like 50km or 100km, constitutes constructive dismissal, and will legally trigger severance - which us usually 1 month pay for each complete year of service. Any employer offering less than that usually gets slapped down hard if it makes it to court.
Of course most states in the US have next to 0 worker protection of any kind (along with no health care). It never ceases to amaze me that anyone thinks a Canadian would want to have Canada join with the US. Why would we would give up health care, worker protections (including paid maternity/paternity leave), with virtually no mass shootings and so on??? In exchange for being governed by a bunch of fascists. Even most Democrats south of the border would be considered radical right-wing nutjobs up here.
