Notification and Measure of Disciplinary Action. a) In the event disciplinary action is taken against an employee, other than the issuance of an oral warning, the Employer shall promptly furnish the employee and the Union in writing with a clear and concise statement of the reasons therefore. The measure of discipline and the statement of reasons may be modified, especially in cases involving suspension pending discharge, after the investigation of the total facts and circumstances. But once the measure of discipline is determined and imposed, the employer shall not increase it for the particular act of misconduct which arose from the same facts and circumstances. b) An employee shall be entitled to the presence of a grievance representative at an investigatory interview if he/she requests one and if the employee has reasonable grounds to believe that the interview may be used to support disciplinary action against him/her. c) Nothing in this section shall prevent the Employer from relieving employees from duty in accordance with its practice. The employee shall not lose any wages because of such suspension.
