Two city officials fired for fighting in Penn.

Two hi-ranking city officials in Bethlehem, Penn., were fired for violating the workplace violence policy. Deputy Community Development Director Dana Grubb and Environmental Health Manager Harvey Joseph engaged in a fist fight on November 4th where Grubb suffered a broken nose and scratches on his neck.
There was some controversy as to how the fight started or who was responsible but due to the status of their positions and the level of attention that it received, both were terminated by the Mayor. Combined, both had worked for the city for about 57 years. Fellow employees say tensions between the two employees have existed for some time.
