Summary:
The claimant, who worked as a train conductor, reported to work with alcohol on his breath. He therefore had to undergo a breathalyser test, which was positive for alcohol. The employer's policy, with which the claimant was familiar, allowed zero tolerance for alcohol or other intoxicants while on duty. The claimant admitted that he was aware of the employer's zero tolerance policy, and knew that a positive test meant automatic dismissal.
