Question: Employment relations

Part A. Greg had worked for two years as games supervisor at a casino, monitoring the dealers, when he was terminated for a serious incident of insubordination. Greg sued for wrongful dismissal damages. During his testimony at trial, Greg told the court that he had a degree from Arizona State University and that he had played football there. Counsel for the employer noticed that Greg seemed rather small for a football player and he asked Greg to name the coach of the football team or the team's nickname. At that point, Greg admitted that he had never in fact attended Arizona State even though he said he had on his resumé.

In your view, would this misrepresentation on his resumé constitute just cause for his dismissal? Explain your reasoning.

Part B. Fiona has been offered a job as a marketing representative in a prestigious cosmetics firm called Beauty R Us. However, one week before she is to start her new job (and two weeks after she gave notice to her current employer) she receives a phone call from Beauty R Us stating that it has to withdraw its job offer. The firm tells Fiona that it just found out that she is a high-profile activist for an animal rights group and some of its customers (such as those who sell fur coats) would be extremely uncomfortable dealing with her as a Beauty R Us marketing representative. Fiona is very upset and wants to know what her legal rights are in this situation.

Advise her. Explain your reasoning.
