In this case, a tow truck driver was charged, amongst other things, with failing to self-isolate whilst awaiting the outcome of a COVID-19 test and thus wilfully endangering the safety of others in the workplace. A commissioner of the Commission for Conciliation Mediation and Arbitration found that the employee had been unfairly dismissed, from both a procedural and a substantive perspective.]]></description>
