Contract Violations

Holding

Grievance is MODIFIED. Grievant was charged with three violations: 1) Failure of Good Behavior – for pushing a co-worker; 2) Neglect of Duty – for leaving a psychological evaluation; and 3) Insubordination – for refusing to answer the Employer’s questions after being granted use immunity. The Arbitrator did not find sufficient evidence for failure of good behavior or neglect of duty but did find the grievant guilty of insubordination. The Arbitrator held that the sanction of removal was not appropriate in this case, however. The Grievant had no active discipline on her record. Therefore, removal for a first-time offense was too harsh. The Arbitrator reinstated the Grievant and her removal was converted to a six-month suspension.
