[QUOTE="TIMN, post: 5684393, member: 106937"] There may be instances where a discharged member would benefit from a sitting arbitrator but in the Southern Region that would be the exception. I have reviewed the Deadlock Committee decisions for the previous 10 years and fewer than 5 discharges yearly are referred to traditional arbitration. There are approximately 16,000 UPS Teamsters in the South. Traditional arbitration has been a deterrent to the company taking weak cases to arbitration due to the expense and risk of further galvanizing our position regarding Cardinal infractions. Collectively the BA’s in the South have fought against a sitting arbitrator due to the likelihood it will increase the number of members actually being discharged and the potential for abuse by the company.
