THIS Is How Nuts Liberals Are -WOW!

[protectionist]

Even as a veteran reader of hundreds of examples of liberal lunacy, I found this case exceptionally nutty and disturbing. After a Quebec truck driver, was arrested after causing an accident while driving drunk in Pennsylvania (blood alcohol 0.18, more than twice the legal limit), the trucking company fired her.

Then astonishingly, in a move both crazy and dangerous, a liberal judge and the drivers union (Teamsters Canada) united to get the driver REINSTATED. Whaaat? What were they thinking ?

They were thinking thoughts infected with liberalitis. Note the words written in blue italics. The judge, Hughgette April, speaking of the driver, said her drinking was the result of a disability — alcoholism — and trucking company Groupe Robert, should have made a reasonable accommodation for her.

The judge said there is no evidence Groupe Robert asked or verified whether their troubled employee suffered from alcoholism.

The driver told the arbitrator (judge) the company could have installed an alcohol testing device in her truck after the crash, or found other work for her. Well, if the company HAD installed an alcohol testing device in her truck, then after 9 beers, it would have been apparent she had been drunk driving, and thus would have been fired.

There is a collective agreement between the company and the union representing drivers that is clear: The penalty for drinking and driving is immediate termination of employment. Yet the union still identifies the driver as a victim, suffering from a disability (alcoholism).

What makes this case so both crazy and disturbing, is how all of the judge and union's attention and sympathy is to this criminal driver,and not to the real victim (the trucking company, whose truck was damaged), or very potentially to other drivers on the road, who could have been killed.

There have been single accidents with monster-sized trucks like this, that involved 40-50 vehicles, and a dozen people killed including 2 whole families, yet all the judge and union can think about is this "poor disabled" criminal driver. Not a thought about PROTECTION of the public. Pheeeew!!

So now this driver is reinstated, back on the road, chugging down her 6 packs, and endangering everyone on the road around her (YOU maybe) .

Yeah, we'll be fine once we get them back inside the mental institutions.

We can put them to good use, making a lot of those products that America has stopped manufacturing.

Yeah, it's not unlike when newscasters in the US make sure to use "proper" pronouns when referring to trans mass shooters.

Truly sick stuff.

In today's looney toon world, I could easily see the same thing happening here.

If the case is in California, the chances augment exponentially.

 

[protectionist]

What will this judge (Hughgette April) and the Teamsters leader (Marc-André Gauthier) say when this drunken screwball causes a pile-up accident, killing more people than the Parkland massacre (17) ?

Did you see that size of that semi rig she's driving? (with 9 cans of beer) Yikes!

Notice the Canadian Press didn't mention the driver's name. 5 proprer names mentioned in the article, but not the driver. Protect the criminal - to hell with the public,

Reminds me of an old story in retail I heard years ago. A manager at one of our locations fired someone for stealing. Had the goods, total proof, the whole nine yards. Slam dunk case. The ex-employee filed for unemployment and won because the person who decided the unemployment case ruled that stealing from the job didn't have anything to do with the employee's work performance so the person caught red handed was allowed to collect unemployment for being fired for something that wasn't related to their work performance.

Indeed, It is sad RhodyPatriot. As we look into the future, will our grandchildren have the inalienable right to speak freely, attend the church of their choice, choose their vocation and live anywhere in America they decide to live their lives..

Well, for one thing, this was a CANADIAN company (not an American one), and the driver who was fired and reinstated fell under CANADIAN jurisdiction for her job. (Again, not American).

And, while the accident she had happened on American roads, her employment is with a CANADIAN company and falls under CANADIAN rules.

I personally don't see an American company having to go through this kind of bullshit.

That being said, yeah, she should have been fired, and as far as I'm concerned, the company did it's part to help her out, but shouldn't have been under any obligation to continue to employ her.

From the OP's link.......................

The driver told her employer about her drinking problem about a week after the crash, one day after she sought medical help to stop drinking. She was officially fired Aug. 31, after she had completed an in-patient addiction treatment program.

To me, this sounds like she knew she was in trouble, and went to medical people to seek help for her drinking so that she could somehow try to mitigate the trouble she was in.

My opinion? Let the company pay for her alcohol treatment, and let her consider that to be her final benefits from the company for employment. Let the treatment be on the companies dime, but they should not be held responsible for continuing to employ her.

If she is an alcoholic as stated, the intervention here is just a slight delay from the next accident. Let`s just hope she doesn`t kill anyone in her next alcohol fueled trucker escapades.
