Grievance Information Detail

The Grievance was DENIED. Grievant was removed for assisting an escaped mental patient by lodging the patient in her home, and for having an unauthorized relationship with the patient. The patient and the grievant subsequently married, and the grievant maintained that since the patient was voluntarily committed, harboring him was not in violation of the institution's rules. The arbitrator held that the policies of the institution were violated, and that the removal was for just cause.
