Contract Violations

Holding

Grievance denied. The Arbitrator found that the grievant had been given notice of the policy and the violation was uncontested. Also, the Collective Bargaining Agreement does not require a "mechanical application" of progressive discipline by the Employer. More severe discipline is warranted if supported by the nature of the infraction. The 1 day suspension is within the Employer's prerogative and is " reasonably related to the seriousness of the offense."
