Discipline/Discharge/Suspension. The Employer agrees to provide written reasons within seven (7) calendar days to the affected employee in the case of discharge or suspension and further agrees that it will not suspend, discharge or otherwise discipline an employee who has completed her or his probationary period, without just cause. A claim by an employee who has completed her or his probationary period that she or he has been unjustly discharged or suspended shall be treated as a grievance if a written statement of such grievance is lodged by the employee with the Employer at Step No. 2 within seven (7) calendar days after the date the discharge or suspension is affected. Such special grievance may be settled under the Grievance or Arbitration Procedure by: i. Confirming the Employer's action in dismissing the employee; or ii. Reinstating the employee with or without loss of seniority and with or without full compensation for the time lost; or iii. By any other arrangement which may be deemed just and equitable. 7.07 a) Failing settlement under the foregoing procedure of any grievance between the parties arising from the interpretation, application, administration or alleged violation of this Agreement, including any question as to whether a matter is arbitral, such grievance may be submitted to arbitration as hereinafter provided. If no written request for arbitration is received within thirty-six (36} calendar days after the decision under Step No. 2 is given, the grievance shall be deemed to have been abandoned. Where such a written request is postmarked within thirty-four (34) calendar days after the decision under Step No.2, it will be deemed to have been received within the time limits.
