Firing for off-job behaviour okay: court

hmm, ok. Didn't realize this was an issue. I thought it was going to be about people Smoking, Drinking, or some other activity at home that the Employer didn't approve of. Like the way it is in some US States.

Good decision in this case.

Fact of the matter is, he works a job that requires a criminal record background check. If what he does on his own time results in criminal charges, then he should have expected to be fired.

Gotta agree that that was the rigth decision.

This is so far from right its retarded. Nice to see employers own you now adays

How so? Do you want people with criminal recors working for corrections canada? Make sense to me, if your job requires a clean record and you commit a crime, by-by.

Or a person gets liquored up and maybe hits someone, they should be allowed to get in the school bus the next morning?

I don't think the poster really thought it through before hitting that "Submit" button.

Well, you can get a job in provincial corrections, in Manitoba at least, even if you have done time. You just have to have kept your nose clean in the past five years. I worked in RCMP holding cells up in northern Manitoba and it wasn't unusual to have a few of the locals, who also worked as guards, in there on the weekends. This made it a real bitch to find a replacement if you wanted to go home, because most everyone else on the guard list were pissed, passed out or locked up. Sometimes that was the only time I could get some of the parents cornered to discuss their kids behavior in school.
"You bald headed, white nazi bitch you...get me some fucking juice!"(with the Cree accent, juice comes out as Jews which led to a whole lot of fun with words that really fucked them up)
next thing out of their mouth:
"So how is Cody doing in social studies? He better be polite to you or I'll give him a beating!"

I'm LOVING that decision

This is wrong yes, but in corrections they have to take a stand.. there is way too much shit that goes on with people who work corrections.. what should have happened is he should have been given psych counseling and treatment and transferred to another institution.. but I agree harassment and stalking are a serious issue not to be taken lightly.. this could have ended in a tragic way.

How so? well where does it end, this opens the door to a whole range of shit.

Guess we should fire bartenders who get drunk at work eh? cause that never happens or maybe we should fire school bus drivers and pizza delivery boys for getting speeding tickets in there own cars when not working, cause people certainly cant act different at work then they do at home. I know each and everyone of you act exactly the same at work as you do when your at home or out with friends right?. Yeeeeah

I guess then we also ot to fire the teachers that spank there own kids at home cause you know they might come to work and spank there students too. Oh and don't forget the police officers who get speeding tickets or the ones who beat there wives/kids, although not acceptable my point is its none of my employers business what i do outside of work,or the ones who have aggressive tendencies cause they might just kill someone at work....fired

In this case I can see your response but the precedent it sets is what is in my eyes a danger.

No not the next morning because hopefully there dead, maybe once they have been to AADAC or something along those lines, or even the next week, Funny thing is this "alcohol" stuff wears off and people go back to normal, weird I know but I heard its true.

If an off duty officer shoots someone and its ruled not self defence should he be fired?

Yes,and he should be charged with murder. Where was your point in that
