Summary

Former corrections officer Michael Zeleke fought back against termination and pay dockings, but the Labour Relations and Employment Board sided with his employer—finding his history of threats against a rail officer and repeated sexual harassment of coworkers too serious to overlook. Despite his claims of being wronged, the board concluded his behavior was unacceptable, especially given his role as a peace officer, and upheld his firing and pay penalties, saying he’d likely repeat his actions if given another chance.
