下午收到安省劳动关系委员会的裁决,延期。先表态,委员会充分的保障了我和大统华的程序权利,对委员会的裁决,坚决服从。而且,委员会的程序性裁决,是不可以上诉、复议的,必须服从!
2.裁决是咱在加拿大的第一个案子,按照安省劳动关系委员会的的规定,后续是可以在这个网站(https://www.canlii.org/en/)公开查询到的,所以贴出来,不涉及任何违反保密义务。
3.裁决中提到的判例Justin Edwards v Amazon Canada Fulfillment Services, 2022 CanLII 99381 (ON LRB),大统华在申请中提到了:
5. The Board is cognizant of the applicant’s concerns. It is important that this application be dealt with as expeditiously as possible. However, it is equally important that the responding party be able to meaningfully participate in this proceeding by having its instructing representative available in advance of and on the day of the hearing. Having reviewed the material filed by the parties, it appears likely that this matter will take more than a single day of hearing to be completed. In the circumstances, a brief adjournment will not materially prejudice the applicant.
核心意思是两点:(1)确保当事人能自主选派自己的代表出庭为自己主张权利,是非常重要的程序性权利,需要予以保证。(2)根据案情,审理很可能一天搞不完,所以,短时间的延期开庭,对原告不会有不公正的影响。
4.我在反驳大统华的理由时,查过这个案子相关的裁决书。该案是双方和解结案,看不到被告那个工作人员的情况,无法确知和本案的差异。但是,我注意到,在该判例中有如下表述:
4. By correspondence dated October 13, 2022, the applicant advised the Board that it opposed the responding party’s adjournment request. Although he did not contest the circumstances giving rise to the responding party’s adjournment request。。。。
因此,我反驳说,本案中,认为大统华的理由不充分,我contest大统华的延期理由。
该判例同段还有如下表述:
the applicant maintains that the responding party has had months to prepare for the hearing and states that he has suffered physically, mentally, and financially because of the responding party’s alleged conduct. The applicant submits that the responding party has failed to meet several “deadlines” that have aggravated his personal circumstances.
这个被告都延期好几次了,让其身体上、精神上、经济上都饱受折磨。所以,我提的申请不了EI、找不到工作的理由,法官自然不认可了。
5.本案其实还进一步明确了,被开除的人,是不是能够申请EI,能否找到工作,不是法官在决定是否延期考虑的因素。因为法官认为,你打赢官司,那些都能得到弥补。确立了一个先例。
6.在我看来,实际上法官是在进行利益衡量。
法官并不是认为延期会对我造成不利,法官知道;法官只是在权衡另外一项价值:保障当然人能够按照自己的意愿选定自己的代理人出庭为其辩护的权利。
法官认为,这是一项更值得维护的价值,虽然可能有损我的权利。因为,如果不能保证大统华按照自己的意愿选定自己的代理人出庭辩护,将可能导致大统华败诉,并且不可补救,难以挽回,不能做到让大统华心服口服(如果大统华败诉的话)。
所以,法官说:
5. That the applicant was denied receipt of Employment Insurancebenefits is not a consideration before the Board. This issue may be raised by the applicant by way of remedial relief should the applicant succeed in one or both of these applications.
7.照这样看来,在计划的六月份(具体六月份哪天,另行确定)开庭前,大统华再次提出延期,并得到同意的可能性难以排除。后续维权的打工人们,对此一定要有心理准备。
一旦进入法律程序,就是个体力活和持久战。
不过嘛,伟大领袖说的:
不是东风压倒西风,就是西风压倒东风。
伟大领袖还说:
那谁谁谁都是纸老虎。
从来就没有什么救世主,
也不靠神仙皇帝!
要创造人类的幸福,
全靠我们自己!
8.咱以后在加拿大也是有“案底”的人了!!
