ITEM ‑ 84

 

WAIVER OF HEARING

 

IT IS AGREED:

 

Rule 84 entitled "Discipline Procedure" is amended to provide for waiver of hearing after an occurrence which, in the judgment of the Carrier, warrants assessment of discipline, subject to the following provisions:

 

1. The employe will be apprised in writing of the charges against him and the discipline proposed, by the Superintendent or his repre貞entative, by mail or in person. A copy of the notice shall be furnished the local chairman of the craft involved.

 

(a) When the notice is delivered to the em計loye by mail, the local chairman's copy will be mailed at the same time.

 

(b) When the notice is delivered to the em計loye in person, the local chairman will be notified of the proposed discipline prior to or at time of delivery to the employe.

 

The employe may waive the right to a hearing by accepting, in writing, the discipline proposed. A copy of the waiver will be re負ained by the employe and a signed copy wil1 be placed on the employe's personal record. The discipline assessed shall not be subject to challenge thereafter.

 

3. The employe will notify the Superintendent in writing within three (3) days after re苞eipt of notice whether the proposed discipline is accepted or rejected.

 

4. If the proposal is rejected, or if the em計loye fails to make an election, no disci計line will be assessed without a hearing.

 

5. The time limit for convening a formal hearing will not be invoked unless the Carrier subse訂uently serves proper notice as provided by Rule 84(a); and if discipline is assessed it shall not exceed that originally proposed.

 

7.

 

Hearing shal1 not be waived when the disci計line to be assessed would result in dis衫issal or suspension of an indefinite dura負ion.

 

This agreement is effective August 1, 1971 and wil1 terminate ten (10) days after service of written notice by any party on the others.

 

Dated at Omaha, Nebraska this 12th day of August, 1971.
