by Ross Runkel at LawMemo
NLRB - Staff summarized 3 decisions.
Human Services Projects, Inc. d/b/a Teen Triumph (32-CA-25262; 358 NLRB No. 2) Stockton, CA, February 6, 2012.
The Board found an unlawfully discharged employee ineligible for reinstatement because of post discharge misconduct. The employee followed a coworker in a parking lot 5 months after his discharge and engaged in a profanity-laced tirade about an unrelated matter. The Board concluded that this misconduct was not provoked by the Employer's unlawful action and rendered him unfit for further service. Member Flynn further found that the employee's refusal to the leave the employer's premises and violent gestures toward the chief financial officer immediately after his discharge tend to support the conclusion that the employee was unfit for further service as a child care worker in residential facilities for sex and youth offenders.
Charges filed by an individual. Administrative Law Judge Jay R. Pollack issued his decision June 23, 2011. Chairman Pearce and Members Griffin, Jr. and Flynn participated.
