[QUOTE="104Feeder, post: 1019070, member: 42554"] Generally, except for our 7 "cardinal sins" you cannot be terminated without a warning letter in place for the same offense. Did you have one? The Company should have sent you a letter detailing the exact reason you were terminate for. If it was for "unprofessional conduct" that isn't a 'cardinal sin'. I hope you immediately filed a grievance for "Termination unjust and unwarranted", and I'm assuming you did since you have a panel hearing scheduled. In the West our panels aren't like what Dracula is describing but you have to remember that on both sides you have just regular lay people acting as Judge & Jury. It's highly unusual for someone not committing a 'cardinal sin' to be out on the street, is there more to the story? Sometimes I've seen people walked out and the Company knows it's going to be reversed at panel, but depending on the timing they can hurt you for 30-60 days & then give you your job back. Usually back pay is the wild card and the Union may urge you to give that up to settle & get you back to work now. I've seen people sit out for 2 years going to Arbitration in order to be reinstated with back pay, some got a big fat check and some didn't. It will be up to you to decide whether to take that road or not. Regardless I think you've learned a lot about how this Company really treats people. And Management wonders why we're so militant....
