[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 3232262, member: 63706"] Ok, now I have something to work with. This summary states that the cardinal sins were established as exclusive in the 1997 negotiations. There is one case that the arbitrator used to make his decision to uphold inclusivity, ignoring the negotiated terms. I'm not going to try and tell an arbitrator he was wrong, but that doesn't seem right to me. And finally, where the case in this summary differs from our case "The grievant was warned that if he left, he would be considered abandoning his job." The OP did not mention such a warning, and the information he provided suggests that he did not receive such a warning. I'm sure that, at a panel, the company would be able to drum up a part time sup willing to swear that the warning was given, but the fact that the company can get away with perjury with no consequence does not make it right. And, without written documentation or witness statements of the warning it becomes he said/she said. The fact that this summary brings up the warning indicates that the warning was documented or witnessed. This is why you demand a steward's presence when there is any mention of discipline. [/QUOTE]
