What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio
My husband clocked out of work on Monday and sat in his car and had a beer...he was off the clock, was not drinking and driving, was in his own personal vehicle and not on company time...well he went back in to make sure he had his order ready for the next day (which he didn't even have to do) and his boss smelled alcohol and made him take a piss test and a breath test, et cetera...just blew it way out of proportion...so Tuesday he had a meeting and wrote a statement and he has been suspended for 3 days...he went back for a meeting today and they fired him...yes it was stupid on his part but never once has he been in an accident, gotten a DUI, or put his company name in jeopardy at all...he just drank on their property in his car...off the clock...he has been with the company for 15 years, never been in an accident in his life, only missed 3 days of work in all that time and he makes one little mistake and they fire him...anything we can do?
