[QUOTE="hondo, post: 499769, member: 8661"] [COLOR=Red]Here are a link back to a thread and its first post covering one Local's attempt to counter this strategy:[/COLOR] [url]http://www.browncafe.com/community/threads/sitting-arbitrator.222808/[/url] [B]Sitting Arbitrator[/B] This past Thursday was the first time that we had a fifth man (arbitrator) sitting at our discipline hearings. We had three cases that we heard. The first case was a 32 year employee who was fired for dishonesty. The company accused him of stealing time, 2minutes hear 2 minutes there. This case was the first that was heard and took 2 and a half hours to be presented. The case was deadlocked by the panel and the arb broke the tie. Grievant was put back to work! Second case was a tug driver at O'Hara who hit a pothole and broke the windshield and blew out a tire. He reported the damage and was fired for not reporting an accident. Again the panel was deadlocked and the arb broke the tie. Greivant was put back to work! Third case was an air driver that slid on snow/ice in to an intersection and was involved in a serious accident. She was fired for gross negligence. Again the panel was deadlocked and the arb broke the tie. Grievant was put back to work! I encourage all locals to get this sitting arbitrator in their language! All three of these employees would have been out at least 18 months waiting on arbitration! __________________ [COLOR=Red]Employees might still be reinstated with "time served", made whole, or termination upheld, but without the threat of an 18-24 month wait.
