A B.C. Labour Relations Board arbitrator has again ruled the City of Kamloops must rehire a parks worker who was fired for not doing his job and attempting to cover it up. Arbitrator Robert Diebolt reconfirmed his original

wrote in his decision. “This is not, for example, a case of theft. “The grievor was dishonest about whether he had performed certain of his cleaning duties . . . I do not mean to minimize the importance of the employer’s real and legitimate interests in honesty. See UNION, A7
