Reply to comment by ScienceWasLove in On-Duty Pennsylvania State Trooper Charged For Drunk Driving by jillianpikora

That is absolutely not true about a teacher not being fired. I know teachers who have been fired and they were union members.

If you are in a treatment program for alcoholism through the employee assistance program, their are hoops the district must jump through before firing a teacher that has been suspended with pay for drinking. At least in my state.

Not hoops. Due process. But the District need not pay the salary while waiting the couple of weeks for the due process to work its way to the logical conclusion. That is how it is in PA, which is what this subreddit is.
