www.theindychannel.com/technology/6459667/detail.htmlMADISON, Wis. -- A porn-surfing Michigan parole officer is getting his job back -- with a raise, too.
Thomas DeLeon was fired in 2004, after computer logs showed he was surfing the Internet for about four hours a day. The records also show he was visiting X-rated Web sites while on the job.
His union appealed, saying firing was excessive for a first-time offense.
But an arbitrator has ruled that Department of Corrections policy mandated light discipline for a first time offense, not firing. The arbitrator said DeLeon should have received a one-day suspension.
The arbitrator said there were 10 similar cases with corrections employees and none was terminated.
Officials of the department say they're stunned by the ruling. But DeLeon is getting to return to old his job, along with an automatic pay raise and $45,000 in back pay.
