Several sources confirmed Stan Dueck, who was Manager of Development and Inspections, is no longer employed at the city of Winnipeg.

Dueck was the manager in charge of a department that was subject to an internal probe earlier this year, after workers were accused of “slacking” on the job.

As well as the employees who were fired or suspended, another four were reprimanded in writing and one has received a non-disciplinary letter.
