Security Guard Fired for Seeing Ghosts
Thu Nov 10, 6:42 PM ET
A judge ruled that a former security guard who was fired for seeing
ghosts cannot be denied unemployment benefits.
According to a court ruling released this week, the former guard's
allegation of apparitions does not constitute misconduct.
The issue started on Sept. 11, when Wade Gallegos alerted his supervisor
at Neighborhood Patrol of Urbandale that ghosts were haunting a
neighborhood he was guarding.
The supervisor arrived at the scene, where Gallegos showed him where the
ghosts were still apparently standing.
The supervisor claimed he saw nothing and fired Gallegos five hours
later.
The company found no signs of drug use or alcohol.
Neighborhood Patrol challenged Gallegos' application for unemployment
benefits, arguing he was guilty of misconduct.
"Such beliefs do render the claimant unfit to act as a security guard,"
Judge G. Ken Renegar ruled. "The employer cannot have security guards
who see ghosts and apparitions and inform the employer, and then the
employer sends out the patrol cars."
However, the judge ruled, seeing ghosts is not the type of misconduct
that can disqualify Gallegos from receiving benefits.
