ARBITRATION VICTORY

Doug Ghant, a Charlotte driver, won his arbitration. Doug received a speeding ticket in North Carolina and Greyhound disciplined Doug before he went to court. The arbitrator ruled-

"The grievance is sustained, the grievant's record is to be cleared of the suspension and it is ordered that he be paid two days back pay."

Special thanks to Ed Gale, our attorney, for this important victory.

Quarterly Arbitration Assesment

As long as the company keeps taking unfair disciplinary action against Local 1700 members, and as long as they keep interpreting the contract in unfair ways that hurt workers, we must maintain our ability to stand up to the company and fight for fairness and equality. One of the ways we fight to protect our rights is through the arbitration process that has been provided for in our contracts for many decades and that has the full force and effect of federal law.

Officer Election Update

The Department of Labor alleges that a mistake was made during the election process that might possibly have had a material effect on the outcome of the election. Consequently, the DOL has informed the union that it wants the election to be re-run. Local 1700 is reviewing the DOL’s allegation and will have a response soon. There will be further updates as more information is known.
