Those with legal mindsets were likely puzzled as they viewed Clint Eastwood's new film "Hereafter."
The worldly television anchor in France Marie LeLay falls apart after dying and then being revived during a tsunami. She allows her superior/lover to talk her into taking a leave a absence. Then when she needs to return to work, he tells her there could be difficulty getting her old job back. She also has a hunch he's sleeping with her replacement. Incidentally, when the two were on holiday, she left the safety of the hotel to buy his childrem proper, that is non airport gifts. That puts her in the path of the tsunami.
Tears run down her cheeks. Luckily the book she decided to write on her near death experience gets published, gets readers, and gets her hooked up with a new soul mate. But those tears could have been prevented if she had put the terms and conditions for her leave in writing, reviewed by her own legal team, and filed a lawsuit for sexual harassment.
Workers of the world, except maybe in America, have united. Paris is burning. UK labor isn't taking crap. No need for tears any more. What isn't settled in the streets, gets addressed through contracts and lawsuits. Shame on you, Marie LeLay.
