SBC Worker Arrested > Goodbye

Re: Goodbye

Let's just remember that a union member is entitled to representation at his hearing/investigation, and the union is obligated to provide such representation by virtue of the employee's membership. Them doing so does not imply that they defend his action, but simply ensures that proper procedure is observed.

This is analogous to the Constitutional rights of the accused in court; whether we are innocent or guilty, we have the right to a fair trial.

And yes, I think any employee sabotaging company equipment and customer lines ought to forfeit his job.

But can't SBC get him for trespassing, damaging private property or something like that that's outside the union but would still be a legal action?

The crime he is accused of committing is a felony. If convicted, he would no longer be eligible to work for SBC.

doesn't matter, he admitted his action, he's been terminated from the employment roles and CWA has decided to let it stand, rather smart of them too...

Exactly.... Communications disruption is a federal offense in many cases. He will be fired.
