Workplace Environmental Hazard
Arbitrator holds that an employer did
not violate the bargaining agreement when it used a new disinfecting cleaning
solution that the grievant was allergic to. Although the union claimed
that management did not provide the grievant with a safe and healthful
working environment, the mere fact that the grievant was allergic to a
particular cleaning solution did not make it unsafe. South Peninsula Hospital
and Teamsters L-959, 120 LA (BNA) 673, FMCS Case #03/08438 (Landau, 2004).
