Grievance Arbitration

Consistent with the Code of Professional Responsibility of the National Academy of Arbitrators, I treat all grievance arbitration decisions as private unless the parties consent otherwise.  I have received permission from the employer and the union to publish the following awards. I believe there is a value to the labor-management community in the publication of arbitration decisions. Out of an abundance of caution, and respecting the privacy of the individuals involved, I have redacted the names of the grievants, witnesses, and other employees named in the decisions.  In the case of individuals who are named in their professional labor relations capacities, I do not redact names. A brief summary of the award follows each case listing.
