Human Resource Management Labor and Employee Relations
As an arbitrator, the assignment is to read through the transcript, and using the principles of just cause, decide whether to uphold the twenty day suspension, or, decide on an alternative discipline (lower suspension, written warning), or no discipline. In no more than five (5) pages, no less than 1.5 spacing, you must explain your decision. Please be advised that an arbitrator cannot give greater discipline, therefore, you cannot terminate Ms. Swenson or decide on a suspension greater than twenty days.
