The Grievance was DENIED. The Arbitrator concluded the Grievant’s removal for violating work Rule 5.3 was for just cause. The Arbitrator pointed to the extremely offensive nature of the Grievant’s comments as well as his position as a supervisor as reasons why termination was warranted. The Arbitrator rejected the Grievant’s arguments that termination did not follow progressive discipline and that similarly situated employees were not terminated for similar conduct.
