The Commission denied the appeal of a candidate seeking appointment to the New Bedford Fire Department given that three-year-old social media posts from the candidate demonstrated a level of indiscretion and offensive behavior incompatible with a firefighter's responsibilities.
The Commission granted the appeal of a State Police Training Trooper, challenging the forfeiture of 10-days accrued time off for participation diverting proceeds from recycling breathalyzers to fund a retirement party. The Commission found that the Appellant was likely unaware the proceeds would be improperly used.
Classification appeal denied. The Appellant was unable to show that she performed the level distinguishing duties of a Program Coordinator III a majority of the time.
