Due Process
An IAM represented employee who is asked to write a statement, which may result in their being disciplined, requires Union representation.
The company should promptly share with the Union all documents they intend to use in support of their case (i.e. written statement, transaction logs, etc.)
Due Process
If an employee is charged with a rule violation – the charge should be clear and specific. A critical element of due process is the right of the employee to defend him or herself and present evidence in his/her own defense. In order to do this effectively, the employee must know specific details about the alleged offense. A clear and specific charge is necessary to do this.
Due Process
On the rare occasion an investigation needs to be reconvened, the company should reconvene with the same Union Steward that was present at the initial investigation.
Due Process
If an investigation needs to be conducted and there is no Union Steward available within the employees department, the company should make every effort to obtain a Union Steward from another department within the same Agreement prior to utilizing a Union Steward from another Agreement.
Due Process
The Union Stewards role in an investigation is to represent the employee, gather information, take thorough notes, and ask clarifying questions. If requested, the company should allow the Union Steward a few moments alone with the employee.
