Über diesen Titel

Legal sources define the "just cause" standard in labor arbitration, emphasizing that employers must follow rigorous procedural and substantive fairness before disciplining workers. Key rulings establish that management bears the affirmative burden of proof and must conduct neutral, thorough investigations that include the employee’s version of events before a final decision is reached. Central frameworks like the "Seven Tests" and the "Du Pont Doctrine" prevent employers from using after-the-fact justifications or inconsistent rules to validate their actions. Furthermore, arbitrators require that any punishment remain proportionate to the offense while accounting for mitigating factors such as an employee's length of service. Finally, the collection highlights that long-standing past practices can become binding contractual obligations if they are consistently applied and mutually accepted. Together, these precedents ensure that workplace discipline is based on reliable evidence rather than unilateral management assumptions.
