[QUOTE="BrownMonk, post: 4070363, member: 66576"] A claim of a cardinal sin does not mean the Union will not back you up. It could be a false claim or they may be able to work something out depending on the severity. Even some arbitrators rule based on the severity. EXAMPLE: You are arguing with a sup and under your breath you say "bite me". If you have insubordination as a cardinal sin, that might be an offense to fire but the reality that you didn't direct the statement and it is very minor in the scheme of things would be factors to determine level of punishment. Another factor could be the Sup starting the argument in the first place. Most of the cardinal sin language says "up to discharge" or "just cause" which allows interpretation. Some sins weigh heavier than others. Usually drugs and alcohol leave no recourse. [/QUOTE]
