Sled Dog Fired Over Union Break, Labor Leaders Angry

Lawyers for The North American Sled Dog Union (Local 414) have filed a wrongful termination lawsuit on behalf of Camo, a Canadian husky who was let go from his team after taking a break in the Calan Valley on January 16th.

“Camo was well within his rights to take a breather,” attorney Ben Rubin tells The Fluffington Post. “In fact, union guidelines stress that dogs should take 15 minute breaks for every four hours of running.”

Sled team management was not available for comment.
