Globe says BCE sued over "swipe and go" allegations

2026-06-23 08:51 ET - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that dozens of former BCE employees who were fired by the company in recent months have filed documents in court claiming more than $6-million in damages, alleging wrongful dismissal. The Globe's Irene Galea writes that in legal documents filed last week in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, 46 former Bell employees said they were among "other employees across Canada" fired under the guise of "cause," when "in reality, the terminations were purely driven by economic considerations and formed part of a coordinated mass layoff." According to the documents filed by lawyers for the plaintiffs, these employees were terminated for allegedly violating Bell's return-to-office policy. Last month, Bell said it had terminated a "small number" of employees who had engaged in what the company called "swipe and go" behaviour. The practice involves employees using their badges to tap into the building to meet in-office requirements, then immediately leaving. Bell's return-to-office policy required most employees to work on site at least three days a week. Bell said at the time that since these employees had violated the company's code of conduct, they were terminated "for cause."
