ICYMI - N.S. arbitrator says company was right to fire Unifor member masturbating on the job

A company is justified in firing a unionized employee for masturbating in a bathroom stall at work, a labour arbitrator in Nova Scotia has ruled.

For privacy reasons the employee is not named in the ruling, which came down last week and is publicly posted in an online legal database. The employee testified that he masturbated in one of four stalls in a hangar bathroom, but only when there was nobody in a stall next to him. He maintained that he never made noises and kept his phone on silent if he was watching videos, but the arbitrator rejected that claim. “I do not accept the grievor’s testimony that he made no sounds while performing this activity,” Richardson wrote. “Obviously if that were true no one would have known that he was doing it. But people did know.

“Masturbation is not a topic of conversation about which people feel comfortable discussing openly,” he wrote. “That, plus concerns about privacy, would make any attempt to discuss it personally embarrassing and likely to result in the use of euphemisms.

I wonder if Unifor employees are allowed to masturbate while at union HQ?

Wow, they keep an eye on everyone!

Did they supply masturbating pads free?

Was a “member”? I would think so.

Don’t make the one eyed man cry in public sonny.

Because a union protects him against the oppression of the man!

How or why did this even get to an arbitrator?
