[QUOTE="Brown Spider, post: 1305252, member: 52461"] I think the key here is your statement that you don't remember any language in the contract when you were working that allowed for a work stoppage due to a disagreement over the termination of an employee. The language in question does not allow a work stoppage due to a disagreement over the termination of an employee. However, a work stoppage can take place when the company does not abide by the procedures prescribed for the settlement of disputes and differences. That's what happened here and the language only applies here. It can be found in Article 18, Section 4 a) of the Teamsters Local 804 Supplement and reads as follows: The Union agrees that it will not cause or permit its members to cause strikes of any kind, stoppages, or any other interference with any of the operations of the Company during the term of this Agreement,[B] so long as the Company abides by the procedure prescribed for the settlement of disputes and differences and the decisions of the arbitrators. [/B] The company failed to abide as required and the work stoppage took place as allowed. [/QUOTE]
