You might recall that I wrote about two Toronto firefighters who were suspended for some rather sexist Tweets. Well, those two plus a third firefighter has been fired according to the CBC:
Firefighters Matt Bowman and Lawaun Edwards were suspended indefinitely earlier this summer after posting comments on Twitter. Those suspensions, the chief confirmed today, have turned into dismissals.
The chief would not comment on the circumstances that led to the third firefighter being dismissed.
This was a problem for Toronto Fire as they really want to recruit women and this didn’t help with that. Hopefully, this sends a message that you are responsible for what you post on social media.
