Supreme Court of Connecticut
Afscme, Council 4, Local 2663 v. Dept. of Children & Families
June 23, 2015
Summary
The dissent would conclude that Listro was denied procedural due process because the Department notified her that termination was based on serious misconduct and criminal charges, but never notified her that negligence was an independent ground for dismissal. It further would conclude that the arbitrator exceeded the scope of the submission by finding negligence and causation after rejecting the alleged fatal abuse. The dissent would reverse the Appellate Court and direct it to affirm the trial court's vacatur of the arbitration award.
