[QUOTE="soberups, post: 976844, member: 14668"] Our local has a memorandum of understanding with the company that [I]all[/I] warning letters are [I]automatically[/I] deemed to be in dispute. However...the warning letter itself will [I]not[/I] be grieved until such time as a suspension letter for the same offense is issued. If we grieved every single warning letter, we would need to hire 3 or 4 additional Business Agents to handle the resulting flood of paperwork. Since warning letters are only valid for 9 months, it would be a complete waste of time and money to grieve what will, in most cases, ultimately be a meaningless piece of paper. If a suspension letter for the same offense is subsequently issued within the 9 month timeframe, the employee can then go back and grieve the original warning letter and if the grievance is successful the suspension letter then gets tossed. This is a win/win; it saves the Local a substantial amount of time and money, and it gives local management the freedom to spew out enough warning letters to meet their quota without having to worry about whether or not those letters are even valid.
