The plaintiffs, eight long-term employees, brought a motion for default judgment in a wrongful dismissal action after the defendants closed their manufacturing facility and relocated it without notice.
The court found that the defendants wrongfully dismissed the plaintiffs and discriminated against them based on their age.
The court awarded damages for unpaid wages, statutory and common law notice, loss of benefits, human rights breaches, and aggravated damages.
The corporate defendants and the personal defendant were found jointly and severally liable under the common employer doctrine and the oppression remedy.
