Justice and Dignity. (a) An employee shall not be suspended or dismissed or transferred for disciplinary reasons until the grievance procedure has been completed. In the event of a matter proceeding to arbitration, the Parties agree to expedite a hearing in this regard. In the event the penalty is upheld by the arbitrator, it shall be immediately instituted as soon as both Parties have been notified of the decision. (b) An employee may be removed from active duty with pay pending the resolution of the grievance if the cause of the discipline arises from a failure to appropriately service the membership of the BCGEU or if continued presence on active duty presents the risk of vexatious behaviour which might jeopardize the BCGEU.
