Question $26(1$ point$)$

An employer has rules prohibiting employees from smoking on company property. Employee A was suspended for one week when caught violating the rule. The union filed a grievance and the matter was settled when the employer agreed to reduce the suspension to two days. The settlement of the grievance provided that it was on a without precedent basis. If employee B is caught smoking two weeks later which of the following is correct?

Because of the settlement of the previous grievance the employer cannot suspend $B$ without providing a prior warning.

Employee B$-$can be suspended for only two days.

Employee B cannot be disciplined.

There are no limits on the suspension that the employer can impose on employee B; however, the union can file a grievance if B is suspended.

An arbitrator would likely uphold the discharge of employee B$.$
