The CBC is reporting that the Supreme Court of Canada will not hear a case brought by former Nortel workers whose disability benefits were impacted ted by Nortels’ bankruptcy. Previously, the Ontario Supreme Court of Justice had set aside money for 360 employees on long-term disability. However, the allocation left most of these former workers with just 34% of their former benefits. Thirty-six employees dissented, but lost their case in a lower appeals court. Now the Canadian Supreme Court will not hear their case.
The dissenting group are also urging the federal government to introduce legislation that would prioritize disabled worker claims during a bankruptcy.
