Message: [QUOTE="Midean, post: 3139020, member: 10185"] You obviously know nothing about workplace law Foordy. It is illegal to stand down an employee and deny them the right to earn a living if they are under investigation for committing a crime not related to their place of work. This is one of the 5 basic laws in place to protect employees from discrimination and illegal termination of employment. Now one could argue that Jacks case is unique in that he is in the public eye and this is the ONE AND ONLY reason the court upheld the NRL's stand down policy. To not do so would have been disastrous for the NRL from a PR perspective. The NRL have not followed workplace procedural law in Jacks case, and you better believe if he is found innocent they are in for a hell of a bad time. If there was irrefutable evidence that Jack had committed a crime, then this would be a different conversation, but the fact he is not sitting in a jail cell right now awaiting trial is evident to the fact that he has not yet been found guilty. Do a basic google search on workplace law and you can find all this out yourself. This is an unprecedented case in that the rule was implemented retrospectively and it will be an easy win for any lawyer should Jack be found innocent.
