I think arbitration goes both ways. If both parties have agreed to arbitration, I think they both are obliged to comply with the ruling.

I’m not sure that’s a correct reading of the article. This was a state job, I’m guessing with a union contract that included arbitration? The arbitrator said he should not be fired but rather be suspended without pay for 6 months and be subject to random drug testing for a year. The lower court overturned the arbitrator’s decision saying it was contrary to state policy against marijuana use. The supreme court overruled the lower court and let the arbitrator’s ruling stand. “All seven justices agreed that the lower-court judge was wrong to overturn the arbitrator’s ruling, saying that although state policy on drug use in the workplace allows for firing workers it does not require it.” It sounds like they were in the clear firing the worker if it weren’t for his ability to take it to arbitration.

        The supreme court has now ruled that you cant actually fire an
        employee for doing drugs in your company vehicles and getting
        arrested for the crime

        your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part
        of the team.
