This episode focuses on understanding and utilizing escalated monetary awards in grievance arbitrations. Corey emphasizes the importance of documenting past cease and desist orders issued to management as evidence of repeated contract violations. He argues that while the goal is not to financially burden the Postal Service, these awards are sometimes necessary to ensure contract compliance when other avenues, like informal resolutions and prior arbitration decisions, have failed to stop the violations. Corey cites several arbitration decisions, emphasizing Arbitrator Roberts' decision which supports the argument that repeated disregard for cease and desist orders justifies escalating monetary remedies. He concludes by advising listeners on how to effectively build their cases, including providing specific examples of successful arguments and appropriate monetary amounts to request.
