Cudmore and Treasury Board (Solicitor General Canada - Correctional Service)

Before: Y. Tarte
Appearances: J. Dupont, for the Grievor; R. Lafrenière, for the Employer
Decision rendered: July 25, 1996

Termination (disciplinary) - Negligence -the grievor, an employee in charge of a meal program at a penal institution, was terminated for having failed to properly monitor, control, record, and report storeroom inventories of a kitchen, as well as falsifying reports to conceal inventory loss - the grievor's contention was that he was not properly trained to perform his duties, that his actions were consistent with the prevailing practice, and that he had kept his superiors informed of the state of affairs - the employer disputed these contentions - the adjudicator preferred the employer's version of events and found that the grievor's actions violated the trust between him and the employer - the adjudicator found no mitigating circumstance or remorse on the part of the grievor.

Grievance denied.
