[QUOTE="browned out, post: 1199399, member: 8105"] There is no difference. It's garbage. Here is the response from the Teamsters Contract Fact people. Why not remove 17(I) or at the least make it a working discharge. UPS will still abuse this. Weak language again. [COLOR=#0000CD]thank you for your question. The Central Region Supplemental Negotiating Committee has amended Article 17(i) of the Central Region Supplement by substituting "cardinal offenses" for the previous reference to "serious" offenses. The term 'cardinal offenses" is utilized in most other supplements and has been the subject of decisions from arbitrators and grievance panels. It has been interpreted as applying to misconduct that a reasonable and objective individual would agree is simply not tolerable in the workplace. The importance of this change is that the determination of what is a "cardinal offense" is not left to the discretion of the Company. Rather, the misconduct must meet an objective standard of intolerable behavior that exceeds anything reasonable in the employment context. We believe this will limit the types of cases that the Company claims justifies discipline and take the determination of what is merely "serious" out of the Company's control. [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
