DISCHARGE OR SUSPENSION The Employer shall not discharge or suspend any employees without just cause, but in respect to discharge or suspension shall give at least one (1) warning notice of the complaint against such employee to the employee, in writing, and a copy of same to the Local Union affected, except that no warning notice need be given to an employee before he is discharged if the cause of such discharge is dishonesty or drunkenness or recklessness resulting in serious accident while on duty, or the carrying of unauthorized passengers, or, for employees hired after June 1, 1985, material falsification of an employment application. Employees given notice of discharge for committing an offense for which a prior warning letter is required will not be separated from employment until after the Employer, the Local Union and the employee have reviewed the facts involved. Such meeting shall be held within seventy-two (72) hours after request of the Employer, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and paid holidays. The warning notice as herein provided shall not remain in effect for a period longer than outlined in the "Uniform Rules and Regulations." Discharge must be by proper written notice to the employee and the Union affected. The Local Union may request a hearing as to an employee's discharge, suspension or any disciplinary action. Should such hearing prove that an injustice has been done an employee, he shall be reinstated. The Article 7, Section 9 Board of Arbitration, National Automobile Transporters Joint Arbitration Committee, and the appropriate Area Committee shall have the authority to order full, partial or no compensation for time lost. Appeal from discharge, suspension or warning notice must be taken within ten (10) days by written notice, and a decision reached within thirty (30) days from the date of discharge, suspension or warning notice. If the employee involved is not within the home terminal area when the action of discharge, suspension or warning notice is taken, the ten (10) day period will start from the date of his return to the home terminal. If no decision has been rendered on the appeal within thirty (30) days, the case shall then be taken up as provided in Article 7 of the National Master Automobile Transporters Agreement. "Uniform Rules and Regulations" with respect to disciplinary action covering the Area as approved by the Joint Area Committee shall prevail in the application and interpretation of this Article regardless of any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary.
DISCIPLINE, SUSPENSION AND DISCHARGE 14.01 The Employer shall not discipline, suspend or discharge any employee except for just cause.
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.
