The issues in this grievance are whether the supervisors' instructions to the grievant to remove a Hawaiian lei from around his neck while working on the MPLSM was discriminatory. In addition, the wearing of a necktie around machinery. We further agreed that this was a local issue suitable for regional determination. Whether the supervisor's instructions to the grievant are discriminatory can only be determined by the specific fact circumstances. In addition, neckties worn around such equipment should be either the clip-on variety or tucked in. Accordingly, we agreed to remand this case to the parties at Step 3 for further processing, including arbitration if necessary. This document contains two Article 14 related issues; a Step 4 Agreement on Page 1 and a Step 4 Agreement on Page 2.
