Summary:
Claimant arrived on the job under the influence of alcohol. Umpire ruled that because the claimant appeared for work in a manner which was described by the Safety Manager as unable to safely perform his duties, he was guilty of a conduct which was inconsistent with the due and faithful discharge of the duties for which he was engaged. Consuming alcohol before appearing for work implies an element of wilfulness or recklessness approaching wilfulness in the claimant's conduct. Ref. to Tucker(A-0381.85).
