A dispute between the City of West Kelowna and the Employees Union, representing a city employee who is accused of watching pornography at work, was settled outside of court on June 16.
An arbitrator for the B.C. Labour Relations Code ruled that the disciplinary warning letter sent to the accused (A.G.) was appropriate.
A.G. is accused of viewing pornography on his personal cell phone during a work lunch break in the presence of other employees.
A.G. is 57 years old and has been employed with the city for four years, described as a reliable employee with no discipline on his record.
Two summer student employees allege that they both heard pornographic sounds and one of the students saw images of naked women on A.G.香蕉视频直播檚 phone. One of the witnesses stated that it made him 香蕉视频直播渦ncomfortable.香蕉视频直播�
The accused alleges that the young co-workers had 香蕉视频直播渉ate on for him香蕉视频直播� and said he thought it was a 香蕉视频直播渨itch hunt.香蕉视频直播�
He maintains that he did not look at pornographic images on his phone.
Following the complaint, A.G.香蕉视频直播檚 phone was submitted to an expert for a forensic audit. The expert reported there was no inappropriate browsing history found at the relevant time.
However, all web browsers have a private/incognito mode which prevents browsing history from being stored onto the device. The forensic audit stated that if the accused utilized incognito mode to access inappropriate content, evidence of the search would only be stored on the Internet Service Provider log files.
A request to the cell service provider for records of his browsing history was denied.
