Three New Grievance Arbitration Awards Published on BNA

BNA Bloomberg has published three additional grievance arbitration decisions. The first, 139 LA 1689, finds that the employer violated the CBA when it failed to promote the more senior employee. The second, 2019 BNA LA 23, upholds a written reprimand for discourtesy to a customer but removes the charge of failure to follow instructions for not showing up at a Weingarten interview. The third new published award is 2019 BNA LA 35. In this private sector decision, a charge of unilateral change was deferred by the NLRB to the parties’ grievance procedure. The award finds that the employer violated the CBA when it installed cameras in the plant and did not bargain the effects with the union.
