Contract Violations

Holding

GRANTED. Grievant, a ten year employee, was given a 10-day suspension for taking a lunch break, without "calling off" to a location off of his assigned route, and parking a state truck on private property where he got stuck in the mud, which resulted in an interruption of work during an emergency and caused damage to the state truck. The arbitrator held that it was not uncommon for employees to take breaks without notifiying a location off their route. Also, it was shown that in several situations employees were not disciplined to the same extent for parking state vehicles on private property. There was only circumstantial evidence to prove that the damage to the truck resulted from it being stuck.
