Another Firing
CX has just fired another long time employee (27+ years) which is turning into another poorly handled witch-hunt. Shame on you CX! Have you not learned anything over the years and when will you treat your employees with the respect and compassion they deserve? 
No such thing as verbal or written warnings in CX, they just hit the nuke button.
I would say some local managers need to be rattled themselves! See how they like it.

Yes, age 65 retirement benefits and severance pay just to name two. I hope he gets a good lawyer and throws the book at CX for their typically poor handling of their "cherished" employees! 
Time to drag this company and the manager's who make these outrageous decisions through the mud again. Only then will they ever change their ways and treat people fairly.

Anyone see a trend here.
He is quite simply a super star as a shift supervisor. Having personally watched him solve Cathay's problems for years, I am dumb founded that he could be let go with no warning.
So far in YVR they have "let go" Ian, Mike, Janet, Stella and now Rick.

Is this Cathay, 'The Caring Company' ???
We all know it's just a marketing slogan. Same as Cathay, 'Safety is our number one priority'.
Yeah right. Financial returns are our number one priority and our passengers safety, along with our staffs well being, comes in around spots 7 & 8.

But where are these wonderful Canadian labour laws that we hear too much about?
Should the aggrieved create a sht-storm and if even a speckle was to flick onto the face of SK, I am sure a large number of us would contribute to the costs.

As a complete outsider I would have thought that the Canadian labour laws would require a warning process.
Instant dismissal is usually only applied for certain types of serious offences,
possible there is more to this sad story than has so far been told.

The fired individual was not a unionized worker.
Liam, your post just shows the complete lack of understanding you and probably the entire HKAOA GC have of the CLC. Doesn't surprise me either as the HKAOA has become exactly what they have always fought against within CX.

Yvrworker I thought this was about the guy getting fired not about the AOA. Maybe you should read the thread again, take a deep breath maybe have a beer and then add something constructive to the forum.

A real shame...a travesty.....this individual was one of the nicest, most caring, and helpful gentlemen employed by Cathay. I too have watched him go the extra mile on numerous occasions successfully solving any number of technical or operational problems; while at the same time offer a caring hand to any staff or family member in need. And even though it aged him beyond his years....he personified the Vancouver operation.....
Some explanation should be forthcoming to account for such a miscarriage.

He's the OP! However, I do agree with your point that this thread is not about the AOA.
