Abstract
The Grievor was suspended and then terminated for culminating incidents of performance failures. The Union requests the Grievor be reinstated with full seniority and compensated for all lost pay and benefits.
The grievance succeeds in part. Discipline was appropriate to the situation, but termination was considered excessive in view of the Grievor's seniority and previous work record. The Grievor is reinstated, but without back pay due to the serious nature of the misconduct.
