I think you'll all get a rise out of this. Since Dorian lists that all the points are on Air Canada, I will assume that a Canadian residency is in play here. I was involved in a very minor case several years ago in Canada that might offer you some insight on who owns the miles, provided you've got the grit to run with this. A company decided to take the employees miles, similar to what is stated here. One employee refused to go along with this and was subsequently fired. He then brought legal action against the company and eventuially won a very nice financial settlement. The ruling of the judge (which means there is a legal presedent in this area) is that the "ownership" of the miles was an implied part of the employees 'condition of employment' when he started and it doesn't need to be documented. The change in ownership of the miles was an illegal "change of condition" with the employees work and thus the judge ruled in favor of the employee. The key factor here, is that the action by the company was directed to miles being a part of the travel policy. There was a way for the company to win this, but they erred in their strategy. I'd rather not put what the error was since this thread was started with the idea of employee rights. So Dorian, if you'd like to scare the $#@%$^& out of your company, I can give you a legal opinion on who owns your miles.......
