One would think. I would think a company would PREFER to fire someone so accused if there's any way they can pull it off. If such a person was guilty, odds are they'd do it again eventually and then the company is really left holding the bag, with previous history on record. My guess is he'd be long gone if he was white collar. Union is going to demand some threshold of evidence other than "she said" though.
