Summary:
Stoppage of work after four weeks of a training period of eight weeks. The claimant was paid by the employer during the training period. The FCA ruled that the claimant was bound by a service contract and was part of the employee group, like all the other employees. His salary was determined by the collective agreement, he paid union dues, and salary issues were central to the concerns of the strikers. Furthermore, the precarious and irregular nature of an employment cannot affect the very existence of the employment.
