Grievance Information Detail

The Arbitrator found that the Employer met its burden and had just cause to terminate the Grievant. The Arbitrator found that the Grievant had exhausted all accrued leave benefits and was not eligible for FMLA. The Arbitrator recognized that the nature of the Grievant’s job makes attendance a high priority. Finally, the Arbitrator agreed with the Employer’s argument that “a salvageable employee would care enough about her job to appear at her grievance arbitration.” The Arbitrator found that the Employer had just cause. Therefore, the grievance is DENIED.
