Abstract
The Grievor was discharged due to theft, fraud and breach of trust. The Union believes the discharge was unjust since an addiction to gambling suggests accommodation would be appropriate. The Grievor seeks reinstatement with full compensation for lost wages and benefits.
The grievance fails. The theft was premeditated and repeated. There is no evidence that the behaviour would not be repeated.
