Contract Violations

Holding

Grievance was DENIED. The Grievant, a Patrol Radio Operator with the Ohio State Highway Patrol, was terminated on July 1, 1999, for violating work rules regarding tardiness and dishonesty. Specifically, he was terminated for failing to report to work for his scheduled shift on July 21, 1999, for requesting sick leave under false pretenses, and for lying during the course of an administrative investigation. The Arbitrator found the Grievant’s story to be unbelievable. In addition, the Arbitrator found the Grievant’s pattern of behavior sufficient to warrant termination. For those reasons, the Arbitrator upheld the termination.
