NOISY MICRO ASSEMBLER CANNED

In Matter of Mills v. Commissioner of Labor, Uyla Mills -- who worked for Miteq, Inc., as a micro assembler -- was discharged from her job for being disruptive and saying disparaging things about her boss.

After being warned about her behavior, Mills was fired for "twirling and loudly chanting about the workplace, rebuking her coworkers, calling them evil and referring to her department head as a terrorist."

When the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board found Mills didn't qualify for unemployment benefits, an appeal to the Appellate Division, Third Department, ensued.

The appellate court was of the opinion Mills's conduct comprised "disqualifying misconduct," especially since she and her coworkers dealt with intricate assembly work which required silence to ensure employees didn't damage the company's equipment or products.

Bet you can hear a pin drop now!
