Martin-Brower & Teamsters 120            

Arbitrator Marlin O. Osthus          

Issue: Discharge           

Distribution center employee terminated for violation of the employer's attendance policy. Union grieved over CBA language excluding disciplines issued more than 9 months ago from counting toward current discipline. Thus would be at the level of Written Warning, rather than Termination.ER pointed out the language in question was used for disciplinary actions unrelated to absences. Past practice and previous arbitration award uphold attendance policy    

Grievance Denied        Clear past practice supports the application of the attendance policy, including the disciplinary steps applied based on number of incidents, as a term of the parties' agreement.
