Grievance GRANTED. The Arbitrator very clearly explained that Management’s procedural errors in convening a second predisciplinary meeting, absent any new evidence, severely “tainted” the case against the grievant. Also, the Arbitrator was persuaded that Management did not avail itself of its rights to question the validity of the grievant’s FMLA certification when it did not obtain a second opinion from an independent medical provider. The arbitrator found that the grievant was unfairly prejudiced in the process used by the Employer to reach its decision to remove the grievant.
