Former Miami Fire Rescue captain fights to get job back after noose incident
Noose, obscene images placed over photos of lieutenant's family<snip>
"Six Miami Fire Department employees were fired in September 2017 after a noose and obscene symbols were found on the desk of a black lieutenant at Station 12.
Now, one of those terminated staff members is trying to get his job back.
This week's arbitration is between the city of Miami and lawyers for the firefighters union to determine if former Capt. William Bryson was rightfully terminated or if he could get his job back.
Attorneys for the city of Miami said Bryson could and should have prevented his subordinates from creating a lewd and racist display on Lt. Robert Webster's desk."
