Step 4 Settlement on Compensation When Speaking to a Steward Prior to a Pre-Disciplinary Interview
This case involved management denying compensation to a grievant who requested to talk to their Steward when required to attend a pre-disciplinary interview. The parties agree a grievant is entitled to compensation for a reasonable amount of time to speak with their steward prior to attending a pre-disciplinary interview. The parties previously agreed in a step 4 settlement from Maple Grove, MN dated January 22, 1999 (I-39 in the Quick Reference Guide), that rural carriers are entitled to be compensated for the time involved to attend a pre-disciplinary interview.
