[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 734670, member: 18044"] Lonely Wolf, Why would the Union invoke Article 7 at a meeting in the Manager's office where someone is being fired and walked off the property for poor attendance? The Union can't stop Management from fireing anyone. The Union can only file a grievance [U]afterward[/U] and get the person's job back, hopefully with full back pay. The generalrule in labor situations is you must allow the Company to violate the Contract first, then, afterwards, file a grievance to set matters right. The Union can't block the Company from violating the Contract. If the employee committed no "cardinal sin," and so should have been allowed to continue working even though terminated, (called a "working termination") then Management's illegal action just makes her case for reinstatement all the stronger.
