Over the past few weeks the legal advisory/employee team has been acting as an advisor to the Minnesota Department of Baby Boomer Retention, also referred to as the Department, carefully outlining advisory reports to management against their case against Mr.. Chuckles. The advisory report offered the necessary Information and terminology for the entire arbitration process. Specifically the final & binding, due process, just cause, swearing in of witnesses, presidential impact & subpoenas.

As the weeks progressed management has conducted their opening statement, offered their witness list, witness statements, various exhibits/documents that support their stance on the Issue, and lastly the closing statement. After careful review of the arbitration process from management’s perspective the legal advisory/employee team will offer a review listing the exemplary actions taken, and concerning actions throughout the process. Exemplary Actions and Concerning Actions opening statement: Making a clear and concise opening statement for the Arbitrator will put your case in the best light. Your opening statement should resent your case in the most advantageous manner for your client, so as to initially Incline the arbitrator to your view.

Management offered a very strong opening statement which followed the guidance as presented by the team. At the start of the hearing, management introduced themselves and clearly presented the issue. As per the guidance the arbitrator Is bound to render a decision based only on the Issue presented.

Specifically outlining that non-verbal sexual harassment Includes but Is not Limited to the distribution, display, or discussion of any written or graphic material via email, photos, text messages, internet posting, or any other form ofcommunicationthat is sexual in nature and offense will not be tolerated.

Management was also very conscientious about notifying the union of the breach in work rules in the union bargaining agreement. The union steward was immediately notified of the termination.
