Holding

The Grievance was GRANTED. The Arbitrator concluded that under the CBA, the use of sick leave for valid medical reasons did not constitute pattern abuse. The Grievant had medical excuse forms completed by his physician for the two absences considered for this discipline. Under the contract, these were not unauthorized absences and the Grievant could not be punished for a pattern abuse of sick leave.
