[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 3944570, member: 14176"] ....due to Facebook posts he made after he exhausted all steps of the grievance procedure and involuntarily separated from the Company and Union....which is crap. What's the "statute of limitations" for that to have happened....and was it limited to "any member of the Local"? ....or was the IBT also eligible to file charges for obvious reproach? Let me guess, it's an autonomous issue??? Is it too late? I doubt it, but the summary judgement (not sure if that's the right terminology) gives us a pretty good perspective of those proceedings? In the end that judgement found the discharge improper and the social media aspect of the decision the reason he wasn't returned to work....which is [I]ridiculous[/I]. Thankfully RA had the fortitude to appeal, potentially protecting us all from a very dangerous precedence. Anybody with a stitch of objectivity can see that the fix was in. Was he squeaky clean, doubtful....but the luxury of hindsight here is at least 20/20. RA was the unwitting victim of a choreographed witchhunt, orchestrated by the very entity that was duty bound to protect him, and carried out by the Company that wants to fire anyone who doesnt toe the line. It reads like a made for TV movie. Perhaps I'll call Netflix...??? [/QUOTE]
