[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1297802, member: 42270"] An Article 7 termination is often called a "working termination." It involves a non-cardinal sin infraction (cardinal sins include: dishonesty, a serious accident resulting in injury due to negligence, drinking on the job, possessing/using illegal narcotics on the job, carrying unauthorized passengers in a company vehicle and "just cause" infractions, which means it's reasonable to expect the company to terminate you for, say, sucker punching a supervisor, destroying company property, or using a racial slur.) Under Article 7, you continue working while your case goes through the grievance procedure. Typically, the first step is the company sending a discharge letter to the member/union. The steward and center/sort manager can then attempt to settle/reduce the termination to a suspension. If they can't come to an agreement, it typically goes to a local level meeting between the business agent and labor manager. If they deadlock again, then the case is decided by the area grievance panel. If the company/union members of the panel deadlock, an arbitrator usually casts the deciding vote. The process can take several months, depending. [/QUOTE]
