flag A bus driver was fired for violently attacking a fare-evading passenger, and an arbitrator upheld the termination despite the union's appeal.

flag A union's decision to grieve the termination of a 15-year bus driver, Cameron, after he violently attacked a fare-evading passenger—kicking, grabbing, and throwing the man to the ground—was rejected by an arbitrator. flag Despite Cameron’s lack of prior disciplinary record and his expressed remorse, the arbitrator ruled the violence unjustifiable, especially in front of children, and emphasized that employers are not obligated to risk future incidents. flag The union’s pursuit of the case, though consistent with its policy of challenging all firings, consumed significant time and money, raising concerns about the cost-effectiveness of such actions when misconduct is clear. flag Both the employer and union reaffirmed that physical altercations with the public are unacceptable.
