The grievor, a Correctional Officer, grieved the termination of his employment.
The Employer terminated him for allegedly orchestrating an assault by one inmate on another and for withholding information during the subsequent investigation.
The arbitrator found the testimony of the Employer's witnesses credible and concluded that the grievor had participated in a scheme to induce an inmate to assault another inmate who had been charged with sexually assaulting a colleague's step-daughter.
Given the serious breach of trust, the physical assault on an inmate, and the grievor's failure to disclose information, the arbitrator held that the employment relationship was irreparably broken.
The grievance was dismissed.
