An arbitrator ordered Athens County (Ohio) to reinstate a 911 dispatcher who was fired last November over charges he appeared at work intoxicated and was abusive to a fellow dispatcher, and now the local police union is going to court to force the county to comply. The arbitrator said Warren Ferguson was a “troubled employee” who was suffering from emotional problems related to his life situation, and should receive his job back after he demonstrated he could handle it. The county says it plans to appeal the arbitrator’s order, but won’t offer Ferguson his job back in the meantime. Read more about the situation here. [follow-up story.]
