Summary:
Claimant was fired because he reported to work under the influence of alcohol and in no shape to work. Umpire ruled that the claimant's decision to report for work under the influence of alcohol constituted misconduct within the meaning of the Act because the employer has the right to expect all employees to be sober when they report for work.
