A stop-go worker who let cars through at the wrong times, seriously endangering the public, was justifiably dismissed, a court has ruled. The traffic superintendent at the site said he also witnessed Hong on at least three occasions directing cars against the flow of the traffic. Hong was "clearly not listening" to his radio phone, and his conduct on that day was "dangerous and inexplicable", the superintendent told the court. In a letter to Hong, Clarke said serious misconduct had occurred and Hong had destroyed the trust and confidence Clarke had in him. Judge Perkins dismissed all of Hong's claims, ruling his actions constituted serious misconduct and his immediate termination was warranted.
