. . . us old-timers might remember a very famous poster here who got shafted at the labour board with them going behind her back and telling her employer that she called to ask a question.

I remember that one:

Well, the person I spoke to at the labor board excused himself and called the school. When he came back and told me he had called the school I was a bit shocked, as I hadn’t spoken to the school about any of this yet. He told me, “You better go talk to your school.”

So, I went to work this morning and was fired.

After “Tony” left the meeting (having been strongly “suggested” that since another office was now taking on this matter, we didn’t want to waste his valuable time) it was suggested rather plainly to the remaining rep that the CLA would need to take at least partial responsibility for this firing as without Tony’s phone call as proximal cause, the teacher would never have been discharged.
