DISCIPLINE
14.01
Notwithstanding any other article, section or clause of this Agreement, the employer shall not dismiss, discharge, suspend from service, or otherwise discipline an employee except for good and sufficient cause and shall be fair, just and reasonable in making any decisions regarding same. Discharging, dismissal, or suspension from service must be executed by proper written notice which shall contain the reasons for the action. The Union may investigate any or all of such cases or the employee concerned may request an investigation. Should such investigation prove that an injustice has been done or the employer acted contrary to the terms of this Agreement, employees shall be reinstated without prejudice and compensated at their usual rate of pay for all time lost, or at such a rate as would reimburse employees what they would have earned had they not been laid off, whichever is greater.
14.02
A reprimand to an employee which is to be recorded on that employee's record shall be executed in writing with the employee concerned getting a copy. The record of an employee shall be open to inspection at the times, during office hours or other convenient times, so employees, if desired, may have an official of the Union accompany them for the inspection.
14.03
The passage of three months without repetition as an offence, which did not result in dismissal or discharge, shall be sufficient to clear an employee's record of that offence. No action shall be taken by the employer on the misdemeanour of an employee.
