[QUOTE="soberups, post: 790284, member: 14668"] Not if you read the Art 705 contract language that he is covered by. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Local 705 Agreement . . . ARTICLE 54. DISCHARGE AND SUSPENSION The Employer [B]shall not discharge or suspend any employee without just cause[/B]. No employee shall be suspended or discharged without first being verbally warned and the warning being documented, [B]except for the following offenses[/B]: a) Dishonesty; (b) Drinking of, or under the influence of alcoholic beverages (as specified in Article 35 herein above) or narcotics during the workday; (c) Personal possession or the use of drugs, marijuana or L.S.D. during the work day; (d) Gross negligence resulting in a serious accident as defined in Article 18. (e) The carrying of unauthorized passengers while on the job; (friend) Failure to report an accident; (g) A runaway accident; (h) Sexual harassment; (i) Fighting on the job. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm not seeing "job abandonment" anywhere in there. I will agree that he screwed up and did something pretty stupid...instead of just going home he should have gone back to work even though his shift was over and explained what happened to his supervisor. Disciplinary action of some sort is certainly warranted, but unless there is more to the story that we arent hearing about I think that termination is a bit extreme. [/QUOTE]
