Holding

DENIED. Insufficient proof existed that any grievance had been filed. The Arbitrator found that the case was not arbitrable because the Union failed to prove that the grievance had indeed been properly filed. The Union witness could not remember the envelope, the correct address, nor where he allegedly mailed the grievance. He never mentioned postage. At a minimum, the Union had to show that the grievance was put in an envelope, properly addressed, properly stamped, and properly placed in a U.S. Mail Box.
