[QUOTE="badsporh, post: 2526041, member: 9407"] [B][/B] I don't know if you read the comments that were made. They are listed above, taken from UPS's final argument. While derogatory, they are fairly mild, especially when you consider the full body of the post in which they were made. I'm pretty sure we as fellow union members don't want the bar set this low for what is considered a dischargeable offense in the future. Additionally, keep in mind, that 5 months prior to these comments, RA had unlawfully been fired by these two labor managers and was now watching the financial devastation of their heinous acts take hold on his and his families lives. They broke the law, stole his lifelong 27 year career and sole source of income, in effect robbing him of approximately 15 years of future earnings, and the worst RA did was make some sophomoric remarks, buried deep within a Facebook posting, about the two law breakers that perpetrated the crime. Fortunately, RA is not settling with this company and is appealing the ALJ's decision to the NLRB in D.C. There is a risk to doing this, because the portion of the decision finding UPS at fault could be overturned. But the greater risk is in allowing the ALJ's decision on the Facebook posting to stand as is. here is a link to the entire case on the NLRB website: [URL="https://www.nlrb.gov/case/06-CA-143062"]NLRB[/URL] Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of my brothers and sisters.
