Summary:
The claimant stated that he started giving rides to work and buying lunch to a female co-worker and this resulted in a threatening phone call from the co-worker's husband to the claimant. The husband met the claimant in the parking lot at work and told claimant to leave his wife alone. Finally the female co-worker called to the office of the employer and requested not to have any more involvement with the claimant who in turn was called to the office and told not to talk to the female co-worker. The claimant admitted having signed a final written letter of warning from his employer which stated that any further attempts to contact that co-worker inside or outside of the workplace would result in his immediate dismissal. The claimant having contacted the female co-worker again was suspended and on his last attempt, the employer terminated the claimant’s employment. The appeal was dismissed by the Umpire.
