Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
misconduct  improper language 

Summary:

Claimant was swearing at people. He was given the opportunity to apologize but refused. The use of language which is grossly inappropriate does not necessarily have to violate any policy; it is the standard of human decency which governs. If there cannot be respect between sexes, there can be no trust, and the trust required between an employer and an employee is fundamentally breached in an irrevocable way. Such a practice constitutes misconduct.
