Common use of Major Discipline Clause in Contracts

Major Discipline. (a) Prior to imposing discipline in the nature of a suspension or termination, the Employer will contact a full-time Business Representative of the Union. The purpose of such contact will be to: i) identify the potential range of disciplinary measures which the Employer is considering in the case; ii) discuss the state of the evidence in the case, and receive such further information as the Union may be in a position to provide; and iii) discuss alternatives to the imposition of a suspension or dismissal as the case may be. (b) The imposition of discipline will not be unduly delayed by this process. (c) Any communications flowing from this Clause 14.08 are agreed by the parties to be privileged and confidential and will be treated for all purposes as if the communications had occurred during the grievance procedure on a "without prejudice" basis. (d) In this clause, "suspension" means a disciplinary suspension and, for greater specificity, does not include any period of time during which an employee may be involuntarily removed from the workplace pending the completion of an investigation.
