Grievance Information Detail
Grievance was Denied. The grievant, a 16-year employee with only a single written reprimand for a tardy in his work record, sent threatening texts to his ex-wife, who is also an employee of the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, and left a derogatory message for her on her work phone. The grievant violated 3 of the 4 work rules with which he was charged. The circumstances of the matter and the work rule violations were serious enough just cause to sustain the grievant’s removal.
