flag B.C. Court of Appeal rules against wage suppression claim against Tim Hortons and its franchisees.

flag The B.C. flag Court of Appeal dismissed a lawsuit against Tim Hortons’ parent company, TDL Group Corp., which alleged a wage suppression conspiracy with its franchisees. flag The lower court had earlier dismissed the case, finding that the "no-hire clause" in franchise contracts was meant to protect franchisees' investments in employee training, not to suppress wages. flag The appeal court agreed, stating that while wage suppression might have been an effect, it was not the intent of the clause. flag The case was led by plaintiff Samir Latifi.
