Related to Just Cause and Progressive Disciplinary Action Discharge
DISCIPLINE/DISCHARGE 21.01 The Employer may warn, suspend, demote or discharge an employee for just cause. If the conduct or performance of an employee warrants disciplinary action, such action shall be confirmed in writing. A copy of all such documentation shall be provided to the employee(s) involved, and forwarded to the office of the Union at the time they are issued.
Right to Grieve Disciplinary Action Employees shall have the right to grieve written censures or warnings, and adverse employee appraisals. Employees shall have the right to rebut in writing any disciplinary notice and that rebuttal will be placed in the employee file, but will not be part of the formal disciplinary record. Should an employee dispute any such entry in his/her file, he/she shall be entitled to recourse through the Grievance Procedure and the eventual resolution thereof shall become part of his/her personal record.
Discipline or Discharge No employee covered by this Agreement shall be discharged except for just cause. “Just cause” will include the concept of progressive discipline (such as verbal and written reprimands, the possibility of suspension and termination). Which level of progressive discipline the Employer will use in a situation will depend on the circumstances and severity of the regular employee’s conduct or work performance as evaluated by the Employer. Employees shall receive a copy of all progressive discipline warnings to be placed in their personnel file. Employees shall be required to sign the written warnings within forty-eight (48) hours for the sole purpose of acknowledging receipt thereof. The Employer agrees to provide a copy of the written disciplinary action to the Union within ninety-six (96) hours of issuance. The inadvertent failure to provide the Union with a copy of the disciplinary action will not be the basis to overturn the discipline for just cause. However, if such failure causes the Union to miss the deadline to file a grievance for the discipline, the deadline shall be extended for that amount of time. Progressive discipline will not be applied when the nature of the offense is just cause for immediate suspension or discharge. Employees who have been discharged by the Employer shall, upon request by the employee, be given a written statement of the cause of discharge by the Human Resources Department at the time of discharge or within a reasonable time thereafter. Employees may request in writing to have written disciplinary action in their personnel file removed if eighteen (18) months have passed without a related discipline. Such request will not be unreasonably denied.
CAUSE FOR DISCIPLINARY ACTION No disciplinary action shall be taken against a permanent employee without good cause. "
DISCIPLINE AND DISMISSAL 6.8.1 The following principles are to be followed when dealing with disciplinary matters:
Grounds for Disciplinary Action The imposition of an oral reprimand shall not be subject to the grievance procedure. An employee may challenge the contents of any written materials pursuant to the provisions of Article 5.5

Notwithstanding the time limits contained in Article 9.03 Step Two, the Parties will meet in an attempt to resolve the grievance within five (5) working days of said grievance being filed at Step Two.
Causes for Disciplinary Action The following causes shall be grounds for disciplinary action:
Re-employment After Voluntary Termination or Dismissal for Cause Where an employee voluntarily leaves the Employer's service, or is dismissed for cause and is later re-engaged, seniority and all perquisites shall date only from the time of re-employment, according to regulations applying to new employees.
Discipline for Just Cause Disciplinary action shall be taken only for just cause, however probationary employees may be discharged without just cause and shall have no right to grieve discharge (see Article 7, Probationary Period). Disciplinary action, except discharge, shall have as its purpose the correction or elimination of incorrect work-related behavior by an employee. Supervisors may not take disciplinary action against an employee who, in good faith, reports a violation of any federal or state law or regulation to a governmental body or law enforcement official. Disciplinary action may not be taken against an employee who is requested by a public agency to participate in an investigation, hearing, or inquiry, as well as an employee who refuses to participate in any activity that the employee, in good faith, believes violates state or federal law.
