N.B. mill worker who was fired for equating Zionists to Nazis ordered reinstated with unpaid suspension

A New Brunswick paper mill worker fired for equating Zionists to Nazis has seen his dismissal replaced with four months of unpaid leave.

Ethan Chamberlain was terminated from his shipper position at Lake Utopia Paper, a division of J.D. Irving Ltd., this past May for violating the company’s Safe and Respectful Workplace Policy by harassing Igor Marichev, a long-haul truck driver with Sunbury Transport, an Irving affiliate. Chamberlain’s union, UNIFOR, Local 523, grieved the shipper’s firing.
