[QUOTE="soberups, post: 570289, member: 14668"] I checked ART 10 and nowhere in it do I see where [I]inadvertantly[/I] driving on a suspended license is grounds for termination. The article mainly speaks to the rights of an an employee who has been charged with DUII to keep his/her employment in a non-driving capacity. From the original description of livinthedream's questioning, the sups were on a "fishing expedition" trying to catch livin in a lie...which [I]would[/I] be grounds for termination. This tells me that (a) the sups knew his lisence was suspended (b) they knew that a termination for driving on one probably wouldnt be upheld so (c) they wanted to trick him into telling a lie that would get him fired. One important distinction in this situation is that the suspension was an [I]administrative[/I] issue vs. a [I]criminal [/I]issue. I know that, in my state at least, there is a clear distinction made between driving-while-suspended for failing to pay a ticket for a non-moving violation vs. driving-while-suspended for the crime of DUII or hit and run. Failing to pay a ticket for a lapsed inspection sticker is not a criminal act, particularly in light of the documentable issues involved with interrupted mail delivery due to a house fire. Its not an excuse; ultimately each individual is responsible for maintaining their license; but it is not a crime for whch termination of employment is an appropriate consequence. [/QUOTE]
