Key legal question
Whether the employee could claim outplacement and departure indemnities under the social plan
Extracted holding
No. The termination was an individual dismissal unrelated to the earlier restructuring that triggered the social plan.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Court was bound by the cantonal finding that the dismissal was not part of a job-cutting restructuring. Therefore, equal treatment and good-faith arguments could not extend the social-plan benefits to this employee.
