PROBATIONARY EMPLOYEES The Company has broad discretion to find that a probationary employee is unsuitable so long as it does not do so in an arbitrary, bad faith or discriminatory manner. The purpose of the probation period under the Collective Agreement is to afford the Company ample opportunity to determine whether there is any reason that it would consider the employee undesirable for service. Article(s) 92.01 & 93.01 o A new Brakeperson shall not be regarded as permanently employed until after six months cumulative service from the date of making first pay trip, and, if retained, shall then rank on the Master Seniority List from the date and time they commenced their first pay trip. In the meantime, unless removed for cause, which, in the opinion of the Company renders themselves undesirable for its service, the Brakeperson shall be regarded as coming within the terms of this Collective Agreement. The training program is provided for under Article 24 of the Collective Agreement. o Article 24.06In the application of Road Service Seniority Article, clauses 87.03 and 92.01, the first day in the training program will be regarded as the first pay trip and the rank of each employee in such training program shall be based on the date and time each applied for the position of Trainman/Yardman. In general, Arbitrators are highly deferential to the employer in cases of dismissal/removal of probationary employees. Only those cases involving obvious arbitrary, discriminatory and/or bad faith decisions may have a reasonable chance of success through the grievance process. CROA 1568; o It is common ground that the standard of proof required to establish just cause for the termination of a probationary employee is substantially lighter than for a permanent employee. The determination of substantially obviously leaves room for a substantial discretion on the part of the employer in deciding whether an employee should gain permanent employment status. It is sufficient to say that, at a minimum, the Company s decision to terminate a probationary employee must not be arbitrary, discriminatory or in bad faith.
