Contract Violations

Holding

MODIFIED. Grievant's removal for fighting and abuse of a coworker was modified to a seven (7)-day suspension with no backpay. Removal was excessive since Grievant was provoked into an argument by his estranged wife, and DYS did not have a disciplinary grid recommending removal for such offenses.
