Contract Violations

Holding

Grievance MODIFIED. The arbitrator found that the entire incident might well have been prevented had the grievant not chosen to place his hands on the youth in an attempt to make him conform to his orders. Other preferable options included calling for assistance on any one of the several communications devices available to him. Therefore, the act of touching the youth was an unnecessary use of force. The grievant deserved discipline for this violation, but this violation alone does not call for removal. The arbitrator modifed the removal to a time served suspension.
