Facts of the Case
Background
The appellant, initially employed as a general hand then assigned clerical duties, alleged constructive dismissal following his demotion back to general work. After a scuffle with management over being filmed, he lodged complaints of unfair labour practice and constructive dismissal. The respondent subsequently charged and dismissed him for misconduct. The arbitrator dismissed both claims, leading to this appeal with inadequately formulated grounds.
