No Just Cause for Discipline: Arbitrator Awards Reinstatement with Back-pay

BHMK attorney Christine Moore represented a union member who was terminated from her employment as a School Office Specialist by the school district. Ms. Moore successfully arbitrated the grievance. The arbitrator found that the district failed to implement progressive discipline and did not have just cause to terminate the member’s employment. The arbitrator awarded reinstatement with back-pay, a major win for the member.
