This podcast episode focuses on the Joint Statement on Violence and Behavior in the Workplace, and the importance of knowing the right arguments and remedies to utilize in grievance cases related to this statement.

Corey is discussing with his listeners how to build a strong case file and be prepared when dealing with management who might be violating the Joint Statement. He emphasizes that management often tries to avoid responsibility, making the same arguments, regardless of the specific case.

Corey advises stewards to gather specific information, including previous arbitration decisions related to the Joint Statement, such as those from Arbitrator Bjork and Arbitrator Britain, to support their arguments. He also emphasizes the need for stewards to be assertive and to not back down when faced with management's attempts to downplay the seriousness of the situation.

Overall, Corey aims to empower his listeners with the knowledge and confidence needed to effectively advocate for their members in grievance cases, ensuring that workers are treated with respect and dignity in the workplace.
