Equitable obligations
Due to the current poor economic conditions, Inferno Corp., a medium-size manufacturer in Burnaby, is downsizing its shipping department and has to let go two of the employees, Chevron and Shell. Both are excellent workers and have been with the company for several years. The department's supervisor, Jo-Ann Roberts, goes to the company CEO to see if there is another alternative for these employees (other than termination of their employment). Jo-Ann suggests that Chevron could be retrained to learn how to operate a forklift and Shell would like to learn how to be a first aid attendant. Since Inferno always needs employees with these skills, the CEO agrees to try this. Inferno's workforce is not unionized. What type of obligation is this? Discuss.
