3.21 Disciplinary Action

3.21.1 Employers have the right to discipline or discharge Employees for just and reasonable cause. Reasonable cause may include, but shall not be restricted to:

  1. the refusal by an Employee to abide by any Employer, or Project site, safety rules and regulations;

  2. reporting for work or working while under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs, or being otherwise impaired;

  3. the refusal of an Employee to abide by the terms and conditions of the following: this Agreement; Employer rules, regulations, polices and practices; Owner or HCML rules, regulations, policies and practices; or CEP rules, regulations, polices and practices. 
The presence of a CEP steward or representative is mandatory at any meeting during which an Employee is disciplined. 

The disciplinary record of an Employee, including letters of reprimand or warnings but not including suspensions or other discipline, shall not be used against him/her in making decisions to discipline at any time after twelve (12) months have expired since the reprimand or warning. 

In cases involving suspension or discipline other than letters of reprimand or warning, the disciplinary notice will remain on the employee's file for twenty-four (24) months and not used after that period in making decisions to discipline provided no other discipline has occurred during that time.
