VIRGINIA JUDGE Colin Gibb
recently declared that Marshall
Lineberry was entitled to unem-
ployment benefits even though he
had been suspended from his job
for fighting.

The Volvo plant that employed
Lineberry had a tradition in which
aman dressed as a rooster would
playfully hassle any employee

' reporting to work late for a shift.

When the rooster approached
Lineberry and cock-a-doodle-
do’ed, Lineberry leaped at the
rooster and began choking him, the
act for which he was suspended.
Judge Gibb found that employ-
ees so hated the tradition that

someone else would soon have -

attacked the rooster if Lineberry
hadn't.
