AN ONTARIO worker who was fired for urinat-
ing at work and multiple safety violations was re-
instated with a suspension and disciplinary letter.
The worker was employed with the Liquor
Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) as a seasonal
order-filler in its Durham warehouse. He operated
a machine known as a tunnel vehicle, which filled
orders by travelling to storage bays.

of urine in the area.

guard checked video footage from the machine's
cab and saw the worker appearing to use his cell-
phone multiple times, which was prohibited in the
warehouse. The worker also appeared to partially
sit on the control arm of the machine, contrary to
