Arbitrator Orders Nurse Who Was Caught Stealing Narcotics to be Reinstated

Is it a discriminatory practice and potential breach of the Ontario Human Right Code for a nursing home to prohibit nurses from stealing narcotics?

In the case of Regional Municipality of Waterloo (Sunnyside Home) v Ontario Nurses’ Association, 2019 CanLII 433 (ON LA), a labour arbitrator ruled that it was. Moreover, the arbitrator ordered that the registered nurse, who conceded that her employment had been terminated for just cause, reinstated to her employment.
