Disciplinary Actions

A 5052-1015-00 - City of St. Clair Shores.
Issue: 3-day suspension - vehicle accident
Result: The grievant drove his dump truck (with truck box lifted) into the DPW Complex striking the utility lines in front of the offices. He was issued a three-day suspension.

The union argued deficiencies in equipment and disparate treatment.

The arbitrator concluded that the discipline was excessive based upon the severity of the offense and the cost involved. The suspension was reduced to a reprimand.
