A CANADIAN JUDGE HAS AWARDED A FORMER BURGER KING
EMPLOYEE A WHOPPING $46,000 CAD.
THE REASON FOR THIS WAS WRONGFUL TERMINATION.
APPARENTLY THE WOMAN, WHO WAS AN IMMIGRANT FROM FIJI, HAD
ASKED A MANAGER IF SHE COULD TAKE HOME SOME FOOD.
SHE HAD ASKED THE MANAGER IF SHE COULD HAVE SOME FISH, MEANING
THAT SHE WANTED THE FISH BURGER
COMBO.
SHE PROCEEDED TO VERY OPENLY, IN THE PUBLIC, TAKE HOME A
FISH SANDWICH COMBO MEAL.
APPARENTLY THE MANAGER WAS NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT LATER ON,
AND WANTED TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE OUT OF HER, AND FIRED HER.
SO A JUDGE ACTUALLY DECIDED, THAT IS WRONGFUL TERMINATION.
SO AT THE TIME OF HER DISMISSAL, IN JANUARY 2014,
SHE WAS EARNING $21,000 A YEAR AND WORKING FULL TIME.
HER HUSBAND IS PHYSICALLY DISABLED AND SHE ALSO
SUPPORTS AN ADULT DAUGHTER WITH A MENTAL DISABILITY.
SHE IS THE SOLE EARNING IN HER HOUSEHOLD.
IN HER RULING, JUDGE ñ JUSTICE LISA WARNER AND FOUND THAT THE
EMPLOYER ACTED IN AN UNREASONABLE, UNFAIR AND UNDULY
INSENSITIVE MANNER, AND SHOULD HAVE CONSIDERED THAT THE
EMPLOYEE MEET ñ THAT THE EMPLOYEE WOULD HAVE
DIFFICULTY FINDING OTHER EMPLOYMENT BECAUSE OF HER
AGE, LIMITED EDUCATION AND ENGLISH SKILLS.
THE JUDGE DECIDED THAT THERE WAS A MISUNDERSTANDING, THE EMPLOYEE
DOESN'T SPEAK ENGLISH WELL, AND SHE TRIED TO COMMUNICATE THAT
SHE WANTED TO TAKE SOMETHING HOME, AND THE MANAGER
MISUNDERSTOOD HER BECAUSE OF THE LANGUAGE BARRIER.
AND JUST BECAUSE OF THAT MISUNDERSTANDING, THIS
WOMAN GOT FIRED.
SHE TRIED TO ASK FOR A SANDWICH, AND ACCORDING TO THIS ARTICLE,
THERE'S NO WORD FOR SANDWICH IN HINDI, WHICH IS THE REAL CRIME.
SANDWICHES ARE DELICIOUS, HINDI SPEAKING PEOPLE, MAKE UP A
WORD AT LEAST, SO YOU CAN EXPERIENCE THE JOY.
I'M SURE THEY HAVE SANDWICHES.
THAT'S WHAT I DON'T GET ABOUT THIS, YOU WORKED AT BURGER
KING FOR DECADES AND YOU STILL CANNOT SAY THE MENU ITEMS?
LIKE, I DON'T WANT TO BE INSENSITIVE, BUT LET'S GET
ON THE SAME PAGE HERE.
BUT REGARDLESS, IT'S A COMBO MEAL, YOU ARE GOING TO FIRE
SOMEONE OVER A COMBO MEAL?
AND THEN APPARENTLY, SHE STOLE $.50
WORTH OF ITEMS FROM THE STORE.
EXACTLY, LIKE WHAT'S THE BIG TICKET ITEM AT BURGER KING
THAT SHE'S GOING TO BANKRUPT THE STORE OVER?
SHE WENT AND SAID, WHEN THEY CONFRONTED HER ABOUT IT SHE WAS
LIKE, OH MY GOSH I'LL PAY HER RIGHT NOW AND THEY WERE LIKE,
YOU ADMITTED TO STEALING!
WE'RE FIRING YOU!
CAN YOU IMAGINE?
LIKE, REALLY?
THAT'S STEALING FROM THE COMPANY, A COMBO MEAL?
THERE'S SOMETHING A LITTLE FISHY ABOUT THE STORY.
NICE!
IT'S A BURGER KING FISH SANDWICH, SO THERE'S NO
ACTUAL FISH.
AND SHE'S FROM FIJI, SO THERE'S SOMETHING ALSO A LITTLE
FIJI ABOUT THE STORY.
BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THEY MIGHT HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR AN EXCUSE.
YES!
I'M PUTTING MY INVESTIGATIVE HAT ON AND I'M THINKING THAT
THEY ARE TRYING TO FIND A REASON FOR DISMISSAL.
IF YOU WORK AT BURGER KING, THEY DO LIKE, SIX PIECE MCNUGGETS,
WAFFLE AND A COKE FOR $.89.
IT'S THE CHEAPEST OF THE CHEAPEST.
I'M NOT RAGGING ON BURGER KING, EVEN THOUGH IT'S DISGUSTING.
I LOVE BURGER KING.
THAT FLAME GRILLED DELICIOUSNESS, I EVEN KNOW IF
IT'S FLAME GRILLED, IT TASTES LIKE IT.
HERE'S WHAT I KNOW FOR SURE, THEY DON'T HAVE MCNUGGETS.
I JUST MEANT NUGGETS, I SAID MC BECAUSE I'M SCOTTISH, OR
IRISH, IT'S RACIST.
SO, JUST TO BUILD OFF OF FRANCIS'S POINT, A FRIEND
OF MINE USED TO SAY, WHEN WE FIRST GOT IN THE WORKFORCE,
YOU KNOW THEY HAVE SECRET FILES ON ALL OF YOU?
AT WORK.
AND I WAS LIKE, YOU'RE CRAZY, THEN DON'T HAVE SECRET FILES.
AND HE'S LIKE, NO, YOU'LL SEE.
THEY BUILD THE SECRET FILES, AND IF THEY DON'T LIKE YOU THEY
JUST PULL SOMETHING OUT OF THE SECRET FILE AND THEY FIRE YOU.
LIKE, REMEMBER THAT TIME YOU TOOK THE $.50
WORTH OF FRENCH FRIES?
WELL THAT'S IN YOUR SECRET FILE, YOU'RE FIRED.
SO I'M WITH FRANCIS, THEY WANTED TO FIRE HER, THEY WERE JUST
LOOKING FOR AN EXCUSE.
DO YOU HAVE A SECRET FILE ON YOUR EMPLOYEES HERE?
I'M NOT SAYING ANYTHING, IF I DID IT WOULD BE SECRET
WOULDN'T IT?
THE ONE THING I WILL BE A JERK ABOUT IS, I DON'T BE WITH THE
JUDGE THAT SHE IS GOING TO HAVE DIFFICULTY FINDING ANOTHER
JOB AND THAT'S WHY THEY SHOULDN'T FIRE HER.
NO, THAT'S HER BUSINESS.
IF SHE HAD ROBBED THE PLACE BY GUNPOINT AND TAKEN $10,000,
I WOULDN'T CARE THAT SHE WOULD HAVE DIFFICULTY FINDING
WORK AT ANOTHER PLACE.
I THINK THAT'S WHAT THE JUDGMENT THOUGH, THE PUNISHMENT
DOESN'T FIT THE CRIME.
WHEN I READ THAT THOUGH I WAS LIKE, CANADA IS SUPER NICE,
THEY CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO NEXT?
GO BACK TO FIJI!
CAN YOU IMAGINE IN AMERICA?
TOO BAD!
IT'S JUST SO NICE UP THERE.
INSTEAD SHE $46,000,
THAT'S A WHOPPER OF A DECISION RIGHT THERE.
THAT 7 MILLION WHOPPER'S WORTH OF MONEY.
SHE SHOULD'VE SAID, I WORK HERE, I WOULD DO ANYTHING NOT TO
EAT YOUR FOOD, I SEE HOW IT GETS MADE.
BELIEVE ME, I'M ONLY TAKING THIS BECAUSE I LITERALLY CANNOT
AFFORD ANYTHING ELSE BECAUSE I WORK HERE AND I ONLY MAKE
$21,000 A YEAR.
SO THEY GET FREE MEALS?
THEY ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE A REFRESHMENTS AT THE JOB.
50% DISCOUNT.
$.25.
AND THEN THEY CAN ACTUALLY MAKE CONCESSIONS TO THAT, NO PUN
INTENDED, AND THAT'S AT THE MANAGER'S DISCRETION.
TO SAY THINGS LIKE THIS, YOU CAN HAVE THAT SANDWICH.
BUT IT'S WEIRD, I DON'T LIKE THAT, I'M GLAD SHE GOT HER
JUST DESSERTS.
FINAL SERIOUS POINT ON IT IS, WHETHER IT'S CANADA OR THE U.S.,
STOP CRUSHING YOUR EMPLOYEES.
SHE'S MAKING $21,000, JUST LET HER TAKE THE FISH SANDWICH.
WE'RE KILLING --
AND THEN IN THE REPUBLICAN CIRCLES IN AMERICA THEY'RE
LIKE, THESE GUYS ARE WORKING HARD ENOUGH.
THEY ARE WORKING THEIR ASSES OFF FOR $21,000 A YEAR, GET OFF
THEIR ASS.
