Grievance Information Detail
Grievance denied. The Arbitrator concluded that the grievance was filed prior to the Article 29 meeting between the State and the Union. That meeting is required before any final layoff decision can be made by the Employer. That meeting took place on March 24, 2010 and the grievance was filed on March 13, 2010. Thus, the layoff was not finalized at the time the grievance was filed and the grievance is not arbitrable.
