Episode 17: Combating Criminal Statutes Cited in the Letter of Charges.


This episode covers how to challenge management when they use criminal statutes against a carrier in disciplinary actions. Corey advises listeners to research any criminal statutes cited by management, as those statutes may not apply to the specific situation. He explains that in a formal grievance procedure, a carrier's lawyer should argue for a higher standard of proof, such as proof beyond a reasonable doubt, because management is essentially making a criminal accusation.
