A British Columbia employer was unable to prove that a worker who expressed displeasure with a supervisor and later shoulder-checked him did so intentionally, said an arbitrator in reducing the worker’s dismissal to a six-month suspension.

Crown Packaging operates a cardboard container manufacturing plant in Richmond, BC. It hired the now 50-year-old worker in 1992, and the worker eventually became a knife operator at the plant.

The worker was considered a good employee and others benefited from his three decades of experience. However, he tended to speak loudly and often swore. This led to a one-day suspension in March 2021 for inappropriate exchanges with other employees.
