--- Quote from: coppercone2 on September 02, 2022, 04:04:19 pm ---what are you gonna do start flying in canadians ? --- End quote --- As a matter of fact, YES. In my company's case, one Canadian, one English and several Swiss. A company that I worked for in Quebec brought in some Swiss, a Haitian, a Portuguese, an American (me), several Indians and other nationalities that I don't recall, and Anglos from other Canadian provinces. H2B visas, they work. If that doesn't work or if they don't want to spend the money, then they can export most jobs to India or other third world countries. Trust me, I've seen it happen over and over again. |

Thus they cannot take me on or advise me. --- End quote --- FWIW, if they represented clients against your employer, there would likely be no conflict. If they represented your employer or a related party, there likely would be a conflict. So if they are refusing to help you based on a conflict, well you can figure it out. --- Quote ---I know this is not the place, but I need quick advice. --- End quote --- Try smaller law firms. Your state's bar association likely has a referral service as well. PM me with your particulars if you like and I'll see if I can locate someone. I can't give you any actual legal advice here. --- Quote ---Do I have any rights regarding the test or refusing it? --- End quote --- Sure, but it is complicated and depends on the specific facts and the nature of your employment. If you are in the defense, nuclear or intelligence sector, the de facto threshold requirements for requiring an FFD are pretty easy to meet. |

--- Quote ---Every Labor Law firm [many] I've called has a prior action against my large public employer. Thus they cannot take me on or advise me. --- End quote --- this is a huge problem. are you people blind? :-// Usually if you went to the trouble to call lawyers, and its more then one lawyer, you probably need to talk to a lawyer and you do not need someone on a forum to get you to relax. This post is only here because some cthulu bullshit is going on. Its making a decision like "i chose to represent myself in court because I got a busy signal when I called the law office" look, when you actually picked up a phone and called a damn law office, that means something, its not like you tried to order a pizza. No one does this. Go with your initial instinct. |

--- Quote ---IF ANYONE knows of any country, state or jurisdiction that DOES NOT allow employers to mandate those tests --- End quote --- Don't know if they're allowed to in the UK, but I've never taken one. --- Quote --- EVERY reputable business that I know of REQUIRES those pre-screening tests --- End quote --- Maybe I've never worked for a reputable company, despite some being US-affiliated :) |
