“The Union stood up for me and fought my case all the way through Arbitration”, said Fick. “I would have been gone without the IAM and our Union Contract; the Shop Stewards and District 77 Assistant Directing Business Representative Julie Anderson did a great job representing me.”
The Arbitrator ruled that the Company applied unfair discipline, reduced the discharge to a five day suspension, and ordered the Company to pay full back pay and all benefits.
