A Quebec trucking company has been ordered to reinstate a driver who was fired after she drank at least nine beers before she lost control of her truck on a Pennsylvania highway.
The facts of the case say the driver stopped twice to buy a six-pack of beer as she drove from a Montreal suburb to Pennsylvania.
Groupe Robert fired the driver after she was involved in a single-vehicle crash shortly before midnight on June 30, 2022. The driver told her employer about her drinking problem about a week after the crash, one day after she sought medical help to stop drinking. She was officially fired Aug. 31, after she had completed an in-patient addiction treatment program.
