Grievance denied. The Arbitrator found that there was just cause for the grievant's removal because he did not complete a required psychiatric evaluation. The Employer was justified in requiring the grievant to undergo an IME or face disciplinary actions. The Arbitrator rejected the claim that the testing was not independent because the Employer suggested a diagnosis and recommended the MCMI test. Finally, the Arbitrator found no merit to the Union's claim that the Employer did not investigate the Grievant's complaints or that these complaints were justified.
