Pullman Firefighters Win Annual Medical Physical Arbitration
Updated
On: Jan 18, 2010 (21:42:00)
On December 29, 2009 Arbitrator Frederick J. Rosenberry settled a contract grievance dispute between the City of Pullman and the Pullman Firefighters IAFF Local 1892 on Annual Medical Physicals. The parties presented three issues in this proceeding: 1) Arbitrability, 2) Limitations on the scope of annual medical examinations, and 3) Employer designation of the healthcare facility that must be used to obtain annual medical examinations. Arbitrator Rosenberry finds the grievance to be subject to Article 13 – Grievance Procedures of the parties collective bargaining agreement and finds that the employer violated Article 14 – Health Insurance when it imposed limitations on the scope of annual medical examinations and directed that annual medical examinations be performed at a designated healthcare facility. The employer is directed to reinstate the application of Article 14 – Health Insurance, employer paid annual physical exams as they were administered prior to the implementation of the June 9, 2009 email notice, and reimburse employees for any personal expense incurred as a result of the notice.
