59 FLRA No. 39
Social Security Administration and AFGE, Council 220 (Hayford, Arbitrator)0- AR-3557 (Decided September 29, 2003)
The Agency suspended the grievant for 2 days. The Arbitrator determined that discipline was warranted under the parties' collective bargaining agreement, but that the 2-day suspension was not for just cause. As a remedy, the Arbitrator ordered the Agency to substitute a written disciplinary warning. The Authority concluded that the remedial portion of the award was deficient and set it aside because a written warning does not constitute a disciplinary action under the parties' agreement.
