Suspension or Discharge In the event of a grievance arising from an employee's suspension or dismissal, the Employer agrees to notify the employee, in writing, setting out the grounds for the Employer's action. A copy of the notice will be sent to the Union's Area Office within five (5) calendar days. Grievances arising from suspension or dismissal, shall be filed at arbitration pursuant to Article 9.1 within fourteen (14) calendar days of the suspension or dismissal.
Unjust Suspension or Discharge Should it be found upon investigation that an employee has been unjustly suspended, discharged or disciplined, such employee shall be immediately reinstated in his/her former position, without loss of seniority, and shall be compensated for all time lost in an amount equal to his/her normal earnings plus interest, or by any other arrangement as to compensation which is just and equitable in the opinion of the parties or in the opinion of the arbitrator if the matter is referred to such arbitrator.
DISCHARGE OR SUSPENSION A. The Employer shall not discharge nor suspend any employee without just cause, but in respect to discharge or suspension shall give at least one (1) warning notice of the complaint against such employee, in writing, and a copy of the same to the Union and job xxxxxxx affected, except that no warning notice need be given to any employee before he/she is discharged if the cause of such dis- charge is dishonesty, or being under the influence of alcoholic xxx- erages, or taking of or being under the influence of non-prescribed drugs or illegal substances during working hours or on Company business or property, or possession of or selling of non-prescribed drugs or illegal substances in Company equipment or on Company premises, or on Company time, or unprovoked physical abuse or bodily harm to a Supervisor or other employee, or negligence resulting in a serious accident while on duty, or the carrying of unauthorized passengers, or failure to report an accident, or punch- ing a time card other than employee’s own for the purpose of steal- ing time. The warning notice as herein provided shall not remain in effect for a period of more than nine (9) months from date of said warn- ing notice. Discharge must be by proper written notice to the employee and the Union affected. Any employee may request an investigation as to his/her discharge or suspension. Should such an investigation prove that an injustice has been done an employee, he/she shall be reinstated and compensated at his/her usual rate of pay while he/she has been out of work. Appeal from discharge or suspension must be taken within ten (10) days by written notice and a decision reached within fifteen (15) days from date of discharge or suspension. If no decision has been rendered within fifteen (15) days, the case shall then be taken up as provided for in Article 46 of this Agreement. There shall be an immediate notification in writing by the company to the officers of the Union and the employee involved for all infractions of the Company rules by the employees. Unless such written notice is given to the officers of the Union and the employee involved within ten (10) days of said infraction, the same shall be considered condoned, but receipt by the Union and the employee of such written notice shall not be construed as to mean that a violation has been committed. Whereby it is understood and agreed that warning letters should be protested immediately with the understanding that is, in the nine (9) month period following any other action is taken against the employee pertaining to suspension or discharge, the Union would then have the right to arbitrate the original warning letter(s) to see if they were warranted or not. Based upon that decision, the Union would then argue the suspension and/or discharge.
DISCHARGE, SUSPENSION AND DISCIPLINE 14.01 (a) In the event an Employee is suspended as a disciplinary measure and the Employee considers that an injustice has been done, the matter may be taken up at Step 2 of the Grievance Procedure.
Discharge of Non-Members Any employee who fails to maintain his membership in the Union as prescribed herein by reason of refusal to pay dues and assessments shall be subject to discharge after seven (7) days' written notice to the Company of the said employee's refusal to maintain his membership.
DISCIPLINE, SUSPENSION AND DISCHARGE 15.01 The Employer shall not discipline, suspend, or discharge an Employee without just cause.
