DISCHARGE AND DISCIPLINE CASES. In the event a member of the unit shall be discharged from his/her employment, the Union will be immediately notified, in writing, of such discharge. In all cases of discharge, a grievance, if any, must be filed in writing within ten (10) working days of the receipt of the notice of discharge provided in the above paragraph. Any employee or group of employees who are called into any office for the purpose of discipline may request the presence of the Chairman of the Grievance Committee or other Committee person and such requests shall not be denied by the Board. Normally employees will not be disciplined or given any reprimand in the presence of students or employees (excluding grievance committee members). Should the need for discipline arise, the Board agrees that the intent of the discipline will be to correct the employee. In determining discipline, the Board shall not consider verbal or written warnings which were issued more than twelve (12) months prior to the current penalty.
