Summary:
Claimant fired (decision later modified to a suspension) for sending a slanderous message to a co-worker under the name of the most senior officer in the company using the internal e-mail system. BOR found that the dismissal was extreme and that the incident was not malicious. Held by Umpire that the BOR erred in applying the wrong test and in concluding that the company had withdrawn the severe penalty it had imposed. The company did withdraw the full dismissal but maintained a lenghty suspension without pay.
