Appeal of Discharge or Discipline Should the discharged or disciplined employee consider the discharge or discipline to be improper, a grievance shall be presented in writing as provided in the grievance procedure. In cases of discharge, or discipline resulting in suspension, the grievance shall be filed at Step 2 of the grievance procedure within 10 days of the discharge.
DISCHARGE OR SUSPENSION The Employer shall not discharge nor suspend any employee without just cause, but in respect to discharge or suspension shall give at least one (1) warning notice of a complaint against such employee to the employee, in writing, and a copy of the same to the Union, except that no warning notice need be given to an employee before he/she is discharged if the cause of such discharge is dishonesty, drinking alcoholic beverages or being under the influence of drugs or in illegal possession of drugs during the workday (including meal period) or drunkenness, recklessness resulting in serious accident while on duty, or the carrying of unauthorized passengers while on the job or offenses of equal seriousness. Except for serious accidents, a driver will not be removed from the payroll during an investigation of an accident. The driver can be assigned to non-driving work during this period. Before disciplinary action is taken, a meeting shall be held with the employee and the employee shall have the right to choose a Xxxxxxx who is readily available and on the premises. In the case of discharge for any offense other than the above mentioned, including suspension, the disciplinary action will be held in abeyance for two (2) weeks to give the Local Union the opportunity to intervene prior to the action being taken. The warning notice, suspension or discharge as herein provided shall not remain in effect for a period of more than nine (9) months from the date of said warning notice, suspension or discharge. Any disciplinary action must be by proper written notice to the employee and the Union affected. Disciplinary letters must be issued by the Company within ten (10) working days after the incident. Any employee may request an investigation as to his/her discharge or suspension. Should such investigation prove that an injustice has been done to an employee, he/she shall be reinstated. The C.P.A.P.G.C. or the impartial arbitrator shall have the authority to order full, partial or no compensation for time lost. Appeal from discharge or suspension must be taken within ten (10) days by written notice and a decision reached within thirty (30) days from the date of suspension or discharge. An employee shall be given a copy of any Company form or document signed by the employee if requested. The Company will not use absenteeism or accidents in conjunction with any other disciplinary action.
Unjust Suspension or Discharge Should it be found upon investigation that an employee has been unjustly suspended, discharged or disciplined, such employee shall be immediately reinstated in his/her former position, without loss of seniority, and shall be compensated for all time lost in an amount equal to his/her normal earnings plus interest, or by any other arrangement as to compensation which is just and equitable in the opinion of the parties or in the opinion of the arbitrator if the matter is referred to such arbitrator.
