There must be a system for him to check that the power was indeed turned off and he didn't follow procedures, a clear safety violation. He may have been killed or injured. That said I would believe that some form of written reprimand would be sufficient, unless there was a history of such behavior. I doubt that there was.
27 years pension was most likely the reason for the sack.
Hope he gets his job back and as soon as he does retires with full pension.
I saw the same thing happen at Lockheed many years ago to a janitor.
He wasn't the greatest worker in the world but at a place like Lockheed who is. He was 3 months form retirement. He got the job back and than retired.
There is something to be said for Unions in cases like this.
