Cambria County Transit Authority v.
UCBR – Cmwlth. Court – January 8, 2019 – reported opinion
Held: Claimant did not violate
employer rule concerning “weapons” by picking up a knife in the employee lounge
and putting it right back down. Board
found that claimant did not threaten anyone and that the knife had been in
lounge for years and had been used for preparing and cutting food, and the
like. Employer’s HR manager admitted
that, in the absence of a threat, possession of a metal knife in the employee’s
lounge was not a violation of Employer’s policies.
