On Monday, an ee was told by his supervisor to stop talking and go to his machine. His response was to tell the supervisor where to go and then hit the supervisor in the face. Obviously he was fired.
Today, the union came to discuss this ees case. They did not disagree with the facts. They wanted us to understand certain facts. The ee had had an argument with his wife. The police had already been called in several times because he hit his wife. He was afraid that if he hit her again, that this time she would press charges.
Therefore, we should understand that it is better that he took out his anger on his supervisor(who is also a male) rather than a helpless female. They, also, asked that I not be involved because I was woman and couldn't understand a man's point of view. To make a long story short, they are consulting with their attorney to see if it pays to go arbitration. And I thought I heard everything.

Are you talking about the ee or the union rep?
Good luck Whatever!
An employee was seen stealing product from the warehouse, then seen reselling the product. He even admitted to all of the above. We termed, union took it to arbitration. The arbitrator ruled that our employee handbook said he couldn't buy product with employee discount and resell it, but it didn't say he couldn't steal it and resell it. We were ordered to reinstate him and pay back wages. The thought of him in our warehouse again was so repugnant we ended up buying him off for a ridiculous 6-figure amount.
No, I'm not making this up!!
