Introduction Over the past few weeks the legal advisory/employee team has been acting as an advisor to the Minnesota Department of Baby Boomer Retention, also referred to as the Department, carefully outlining advisory reports to management against their case against Mr. Chuckles. The advisory report offered the necessary information and terminology for the entire arbitration process. Specifically the final & binding, due process, just cause, swearing in of witnesses, precedential impact & subpoenas. As the weeks progressed management has conducted their opening statement, offered their witness list, witness statements, various exhibits/documents that support their stance on the issue, and lastly the closing statement.

Chuckles to include supervisor documentation, the impact of the victim, and union relations in which the bargaining agreement is very specific about a zero tolerance policy on harassment to include an immediate termination clause. Management was also very conscientious about notifying the union of the breach in work rules in the union bargaining agreement. The union steward was immediately notified of the termination.

A party may frequently lose a case because “they fail to bring proof of their allegations” or fail to support their arguments with proof (Isrealstam, 2014, para. 1). In reviewing management’s case it is evident that they provided adequate proof with their strong opening statement, various exhibits, unbiased witnesses, and strong closing statements that warranted the termination of Mr. Chuckles for clear violations of numerous company

When examining case law in this area there seems to be a very cut a dry way the courts have ruled. Simply put does the NMUSB have the right to disqualify Miss Attired based on the belief that she was fired for misconduct. The term “misconduct” was established in the Zelma M. Mitchell v.

    The central principle against protection for union officers is grounded in the statuary language of § 101(a)(1) and (2) of the LMRDA, which states that “every member of a labor organization shall have equal rights and privileges.” 29 U.S.C. § 411. Section 101(a)(1) and (2) explicitly contains the language of “every member” with no direct reference to officers. As noted in Sheridan v. Carpenters, 50 LRRM 2637 (1962), the court found that legislative history shows that Congress intended the protection of equal rights to be applicable to officers As a result of ambiguities in the statutory language and legislative…

    Williamson V Houston

    • 712 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The IAD investigation determined that there was no basis for Williamson’s allegations. Williamson sued the City of Houston under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act for hostile work environment sexual harassment and for retaliation against her for reporting the harassment. In a District Court, a jury found the city liable for both sexual harassment and for retaliation. Williamson was awarded back pay and compensatory damages, as well as court costs and attorney’s fees. On appeal to the Fifth Circuit, U.S. Court of Appeals, the City of Houston challenged the judgment on the grounds that it did not have notice of the harassment until April 1992 and that her notification to her supervisor should not have constituted notice to the city. The District Court’s ruling was affirmed by the Appeals Court. 3. Main Issue: Can a supervisor’s knowledge of harassing behavior be imputed to the city to show that the city knew, or should have known, of the harassing behavior and can therefore be held liable for failing to stop the behavior? 4. Court Deciding: United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit. 5. Decision: Summary judgment affirming the decision of the District…

    First, I will discuss how the constructive discharge as a legal concept is relevant to this allegation. “A constructive discharge occurs when an employee is legally justified in claiming that he or she was compelled to resign because the employer has made working conditions intolerable.” (Dempsey, 2012) Ms. Smith is a member of a religious organization that worships on a religious holy day. When the company changed its policy to require employees to work 12-hour shifts, four days a week, she was required to work on some of these religious holidays. Ms. Smith alleges this is discrimination because she was not allowed to worship therefore she was forced to quit in order to practice her religious beliefs within the guidelines of the religious practices of her organization. With this information, the claim Ms. Smith has brought against the company is considered a constructive discharge.…

    This case occurred in a premier resort called the Waterview and it’s located in the Muskoka District of Northern Ontario. The Waterview snack bar has been the leading tourist destination for several decades. Unfortunately since the premier resort has numerous ownership changes over the years, the quality of professional services and revenue has fallen down sharply. In this challenging situation, the resort’s operation manager Rebecca Boddington promoted a long-time employee Michael Welland to become the snack bar supervisor. At the first time, Michael turned down Boddlington’s promotion offer because he got a better job as a sales associate with good pay and benefits. However since then, Rebecca held a personal grudge against Michael regarding his work behaviors and ability to perform and some unavoidable arguments have come up between them. This serious lack of communication, toxic work environment and frequent disputes between the workers and management has substantially diminished the Waterview’s share in its highly competitive tourism market.…

    . “The remedies in successful wrongful discharge suits depend heavily on whether the plaintiff’s claim sounds in contract or in tort, with tort remedies being more advantageous for plaintiffs” (Mallor et al., 2010, p. 1338). If the plaintiff can prove his or her case against the employer for wrongful discharge or termination, the employee can recover damages from the employer. The burden of proof lies with the plaintiff to prove wrongful termination and remedies can be costly for the employer. The employer can avoid the liability of a wrongful termination suit by keeping up with the policies and procedures and performance evaluations of its employees.…
