To amazed:

OK, hold onto your hat. I'm a "liberal", and if the facts are as you've presented them, then it was a bad decision by the state labor board.

I wholeheartedly agree that an employer needs to be able to discipline, and fire, personnel who do not adhere to company safety policies.

  I don't know what the relevance of your being a liberal is to this conversation, unless by that you mean that you implicitly trust the government to do what is best for you.
  
  In CT, (a very liberal state), it is very rare for a company -- even a large company to "win" against any regulatory agency.
  
  When I fired a driver who had gotten arrested for heroin and refused to take a non-driving job, the first guy found that it was not a justified firing and I had to pay unemployment. I appealed and won the appeal, but then the guy was apparently too strung out to show up, so I got the default judgement. I'm not convinced that I would have won that if he had remembered to show up for the hearing.
