National Pre-Arbitration Agreement: Article 19; Handbooks and Manuals (1986)

This National Level Pre-Arbitration Settlement Agreement addresses whether the employer's local absence control policy was inconsistent and/or in conflict with the National and/or Local Agreement. It was agreed that the two-call requirement is contrary to the ELM 513.332 and 512.412. Accordingly, the instructions, Items 1 and 3 under employee's responsibilities, are to be amended and brought into compliance with the ELM. It was further agreed that the remaining issues do not warrant arbitration at the National level.
