ACDVF - Air Canada To Test Flight Attendant's Hair For Illegal Substances & Weed After Reports Of Misconduct And Hijacking Jokes | Benzinga
Air Canada (OTCQX:ACDVF) was granted the right from a federal labor arbitrator to test a strand of a flight attendant's hair for drugs.
The flight attendant, known as CB, was expelled from a home where 14 Air Canada employees were staying because of reports of inappropriate behavior, writesCBC News.
CB's colleagues claimed previously that the flight attendant was smoking a bong and making dark jokes about hijacking the plane. His fellow cabin crew member wrote complaints that reached a Vancouver-based service director manager for Air Canada, resulting in a request for a strand of CB's hair and a dispute between the largest Canadian airline and the Canadian Union of Public Employees.
“[He] seemed dazed every other day and appeared to be under the influence of substances," one complaint said, according to the arbitrator's report.
