Union filed a grievance on police officer’s behalf, alleging that the town violated the parties’ collective bargaining agreement by terminating officer without just cause. Arbitration panel sustained the grievance, and town filed an application to vacate the arbitration award. The Superior Court denied the town’s application to vacate arbitration award, and town sought review. The Appellate Court reversed and remanded. Union appealed.
The Supreme Court of Connecticut held that officer’s dishonesty with independent medical examiner regarding his epilepsy was not so egregious as to require nothing less than officer’s termination.
