Contract Violations

Holding

DENIED. The union alleged that a discontinued practice of providing paid 35 minute rest breaks should have been maintained when the contract took effect. The Arbitrator found each side's contentions plausible, but denied the grievance on the basis that that would best interpret the contract as a consistent whole. The arbitrator, therefore, held that the contract did not require that the 35 minute breaks be continued.
