1. The arbitrator explicitly stated that this decision established "supplementary rules of the plant." Do you think that is an appropriate way for a decision under a CBA to be made?
2. The two divisions operated out of the same facility before relocating to another state approximately six years before this grievance. Presumably, some of the employees from Division 2 could have been employees when the divisions were in the same location. How do you think those individuals viewed the union's grievance?
