A employee at an Arkansas McDonald’s was not being insubordinate when he refused to prepare food while dirty from cleaning the parking lot, the state Court of Appeals ruled today.
The court overturned a ruling by the state Board of Review that denied unemployment benefits to Elmer Marshall, who was fired from a McDonald‘s restaurant in Stuttgart on Sept. 21, 2010.
Marshall had been employed at the restaurant for five years as a maintenance worker. On the day of his firing, he had been cleaning the parking lot when a supervisor, Gonzalo Zayago, summoned him inside and told him to make french fries.
