Quebec is different than the States - Labour Commission
Rules: Target Needs Just Cause to Deny Former Zellers
Workers in Quebec Canada's leading voice for retail
workers, the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW
Canada), joins Zellers workers in Quebec in celebrating a
decision by the Quebec Labour Standards Commission that
recognizes - for the first time - Target's responsibility to
Zellers workers and their communities by ruling that Target
needs just cause to deny former-Zellers workers employment
in the rebranded retail locations. During an interview with
reporter Marie-Pier Duplessis (as published in Le Soleil on
June 28, 2013), the spokesperson for the Labour Standards
Commission, Jean-François Pelchat announced that all former
Zellers employees who had applied for a job at Target, and
whose application was turned down, had 45 days from the date
of the denial notice to file a complaint with the Commission
for dismissal without just cause under sections 96 and 97 of
the Act. As far as UFCW Canada is concerned, the
Commission's decision clearly recognizes the employment
relationship between former Zellers employees and their new
employer - Target. (Source
