Episode 25: Just Cause Principle: Is the Rule Consistently and Equitably Enforced?

This podcast episode is about the third of six “just cause” principles in labor arbitration. Corey focuses on the principle of “Is the rule consistently and equitably enforced?” He explains that management often tries to enforce rules inconsistently, and that this inconsistency can be used to challenge their actions. He gives an example of a rule requiring carriers to raise their hands to use the restroom, which the supervisor was enforcing inconsistently. He also encourages listeners to be aware of the “rubber-stamping” of discipline that can happen when a supervisor doesn’t actually review a case before approving it. Corey emphasizes that the union needs to hold management accountable for their actions by pointing out these inconsistencies.
