I still don’t understand why firing a probationary needs cause...
I lose track of what suits are what. This judge talks about millions of plaintiffs. Did they all file suit? Is this a class-action lawsuit?
In one case it wasn’t the workers themselves who filed suit but instead the labor unions, claiming that if others are fired it means the people still there have to actually work, and NGO’s claiming they can’t get their work done if people are fired in the govt. (seems to me that if your ability to get anything done depends on scads of govt workers, then you are NOT a “non-governmental agency”.
But it seems to me that what these judges are doing would - if applied universally - would keep any business from being able to do any reductions in force.
Somebody should sue Disney and all the other companies who have downsized, using these same arguments, within the same courts that these cases were filed, and force these judges to put their money where their mouth is.
