Common use of Bargaining Unit Member Discipline Clause in Contracts

Bargaining Unit Member Discipline. ‌ When it becomes necessary to discipline a bargaining unit member, the standard to be applied shall be just cause and progressive discipline shall be followed. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, in all cases the Board may impose discipline commensurate with the misconduct. No written reprimand shall be placed in the bargaining unit member's permanent file without the bargaining unit member's knowledge. Any complaint or series of complaints deemed by the Board to justify disciplinary action which might result in placement of materials in the bargaining unit member's personnel file shall be brought to the attention of the bargaining unit member as soon as possible. The Board and the Association agree that it is most desirable to have complaints against a bargaining unit member directed to the individual(s) involved in an attempt to resolve disputes at the most immediate level. When deemed appropriate by the building administrator or designated supervisor or requested in writing by the bargaining unit member, an attempt will be made to schedule a conference between the complaining party and the bargaining unit member involved. Any of the parties may choose a representative to be present at the conference. Whenever a concern is raised against a bargaining unit member, the District’s Concern Resolution Form (attached) shall be used to process the concern.
