Contract Violations

Holding

Modified:The grievant's removal was without just cause. Although the grievant did misuse a workplace searching system, and although the grievant was charged with multiple criminal offenses, the grievant was never found guilty on any count, and the grievant does not have a recent history of discipline; thus, an immediate removal was improper. The grievant, however, had been charged with a similar offense previously, and should have known not to engage in questionable conduct which may lead to such charges. The totality of the circumstances invoked the arbitrator to restore the girevant to his previous position, allowing the time he spent removed from his position to function as time served on suspension.
