Ed George and the BCWF

[Steeleco]

That's a wrap!

He did in writing and offered a non litigious solution: The Board rejected his offer because they wanted him to resign: One thing everyone is not mentioning is that the judge did rule in Georges favour that he could still attend the AGM and run for President.The evidence of a witch hunt is that how does a President who is not involved in managing the society get a private email from an employee who never had a complaint? Especially since the email was extracted from a private folder at special request by contracted IT specialist hired specifically to find said emails?This is just dirty politics at its worst: And speaks to an organization that has lost its focus because of poor leadership: Unfortunately much too common in these types of boards.The region 2 board has also gone south... Too many people that have egos instead of ideas:

Damn right he should have resigned! Some people are trying to gloss over the seriousness of inappropriate emails. This kind of stuff has resulted in law suits, labor relations intervention, terminations and all sorts of other disciplinary actions. The appropriate action for Mr George should have been "I'm sorry, I didn't realize proper email ethics, I made a mistake. I'm going to resign at this point and run for election next time." Obviously the courts agreed that Ed should be suspended. From what you say about the emails, thete still isn't "witch hunt" grounds. Management was made aware of the emails and are obligated to investigate. It doesn't matter if no complaint was made. It is not uncommon in the workplace for no complaint to be made as employees often don't want to rock the boat. When a third party whistle blower informs management, they must act. Stop excusing poor behaviour and blaming the victim. Ed is not the wronged party here or the court would have overturned his suspension.

It seems some people are upset because I got the last word....Steelco locked the thread at 11:53, while I was typing my response. I posted at 12:00. I didn't even realize the thread was locked until it was Reported complaining about it. And No, I'm not deleting it.
