The plaintiff argued his position had not vanished and that the bank failed to offer suitable alternative roles within the Simplify RM&S credit risk restructuring. The judge ruled that the bank's refusal to retrain or reassign the employee violated the Social Plan obligations, mandating immediate reinstatement and cost coverage for the specified educational programs.
