Facts #1
Jen has worked for the company for 10 years as a call centre operator. On several
occasions he has been counselled by her manager about being more polite in her calls
with customers. After a recent incident with a customer, Jen was called to a meeting
with the manager. She was told the meeting would be disciplinary in nature and that
she should bring her shop steward. The manager played the tape of the customer call
for Jen and you (the shop steward). He advised Jen that her words and tone were rude
and that she was being given a one-day suspension. Jen was told that in future she
had to be more polite to customers and that if she had difficulty with particular
customers she was to transfer the call to the manager.
1. You are the shop steward. Draft the grievance with reference to your
assigned collective agreement (if applicable). Make assumptions about the
facts as you deem necessary but state those assumptions explicitly in the
grievance.
Write the Grievance Here:
Dear manager,
We grieve on behalf of Jen, employee #123456 because she was given a one-day
suspension. The tape played during the disciplinary meeting also brought to attention
that the customer was rude and Jen retaliated only out of defence. The company
policies clearly allow the employees to educate the customers about the code of ethics
in times of any kind of exploitation. Additionally, the suspension was required to done in
the presence of the shop steward with a written letter, as described in article 10.2(b) of
the collective agreement. Due to not following the due process of including the shop
steward in the process, the suspension should not be taken into account. As remedy,
we request that Sally’s record be cleared of suspension and that she will be paid all
wages for the say of suspension.
We look forward to your early response to our grievance. If you have any questions
regarding this matter, please contact me.
Regards,
Venus Sachdeva
Shop Steward
Grievance #1
Facts:
Melissa Henry is a 2-year employee. She has a history of missing shifts for a variety of
reasons ranging from “illness” to “child care problems” to “car broke down”. She has
received numerous verbal warnings and last month a written warning advising her that
further absences without acceptable excuse or without notifying the company would
result in more serious discipline. On January 14, 2021 Melissa was suspended for one
day for being absent from work without excuse and without notifying her supervisor.
Grievance:
We hereby grieve the 1-day suspension without pay of Melissa Henry dated January 14,
2021. Melissa was suspended for being absent from work without excuse and without
notifying her supervisor. The suspension is an unjust response in the circumstances
because Melissa had to stay home to care for her child who was ill. In previous
instances where Melissa was absent she has only received verbal or written warnings
and we submit that the past practice of the employer is to only issue verbal or written
warnings and that this suspension is therefore unjust.
2. You are the Labour Relations Specialist and you need to assist the
manager in replying to this grievance. With reference to your assigned
collective agreement (if applicable), draft the reply. Make assumptions
about the facts as you deem necessary but state those assumptions
explicitly in the grievance response.
Reply to the Grievance Here:
I am writing in reply to your grievance of Sept xx, 20XX. Unfortunately, after careful
consideration, we have decided to deny this grievance.
Article 20.4 of the collective agreement is quite clear that the “Employee shall be
entitled, after notifying his/her supervisor, to up to a maximum of two days’ paid leave at
any one time for this purpose.” Melissa has been given multiple verbal and written
warnings in accordance with the agreement. Therefore, our decision to suspend
Melissa for a day follows the company’s progressive discipline policy which falls under
“residual management rights.”
We would like Melissa to understand the scope of the disciplinary action and exhibit the
required work behaviour.
Yours truly
Venus Sachdeva
Director of Labour Relations
