Summary:
The claimant was working at a remote camp in Alberta where he was banned and dismissed. A security personnel retained by his employer searched the room he occupied as well as his personal belongings and discovered a bottle of liquor. At the beginning of his stay at the camp the claimant had signed a document that stated: this was a Dry Camp – the consumption or possession of alcohol/ unlawful drugs is not acceptable in or around camp and the company reserved the right to conduct drug and alcohol searches of the camp area at any time. The Board of Referees concludes that the claimant lost his job because of his own misconduct. The appeal by the claimant is dismissed by the Umpire.
