Grievance Information Detail
Grievance GRANTED. The Arbitrator found that in this instant matter, there was no testimony from witnesses who were working in the facility during the interaction between the Grievant and M, therefore leaving the video as the primary focal point of the Employer’s case. The video does not provide the “clear and convincing” evidence necessary for a conclusion that the Grievant abused the client/resident. M accused the Grievant of hitting him on the cheek which left a red bump on his face. A medical examination of M indicated that M did not sustain a facial injury. There is no evidence that the Grievant struck him in the face.
