    :: Friday, May 30, 2003 ::

    There's "road rage," "air rage" and now "work rage." VANCOUVER (CKNW/AM980) -- West Vancouver police are investigating an incident of work rage in which a construction boss allegedly beat his employee while firing him.

    West Vancouver police Sergeant Bob Fontaine says the employee spent six hours in the hospital after he was fired by his boss last week.

    According to Fontaine, the employer allegedly punched the employee in the head and after doing that he supposedly choked him and then kicked him in the side a few times.

    Fontaine says the man's boss allegedly told the 43-year-old worker he was lucky to be leaving with his teeth.

    West Vancouver police are investigating the incident. No charges have yet been laid.
