This a Canadian thing. Cultural differences and all that.

The driver's actions amounted to serious misconduct, but her drinking was the result of a disability — alcoholism — and trucking company Groupe Robert should have made a reasonable accommodation for her, labour arbitrator Huguette April said in her written July 18 decision.

What sort of "accommodation" should the trucking company have made for this alcoholic employee? Provide her with her own personal designated driver?

That's an easy one.The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's DMV can suspend her commercial license for 5 years. I'm not sure if that would cause a foreign country to suspend it but my guess if that it would.

At the very least she wouldn't be able to drive in the US.

“The night of the accident, she needed to drink,” April said. “She admitted that even though she knew she shouldn’t, the need was stronger, like something that she couldn’t control.”

How about con trolling whether or not to get behind the wheel and drive a semi?

Was that due to driverism?
