[QUOTE="KidUPS, post: 526618, member: 18294"] This comes from experience. I had an employee refusing to work as directed. Blatant and disrespectful. I informed him to work as directed but he flat out refused. This happened between a very precious time frame where air volume needed to be processed and shipped by a certain time. I radioed to a lead who was around (my lead was currently not in the building.) Lead happened to be near, I asked again, employee refused. I took employee to a steward as a favor in hopes he would work as directed. He worked. Steward tried to mediate. I explained to the steward I was now representing the company and would be contacting security to walk out the employee. Security walked him out. Employee returned to work 7 months later, however I cannot state whether or not he was paid or not. I do know my manager and the business agent had a meeting on the matter. But from that one experience, I do believe in most cases that it is up to the supervisor to make a case (write ups, progressive discipline) and up to the manager to make the final call on each case with a business agent.
