This hearing is to be held between the Employer, the Employers' representative, the Employee, and a Labor Council representative, if the Employee so desires. The Employee will receive a written statement of charges prior to the hearing. Hearings, where practical shall be conducted at hours reasonably related to the Employee's shift, such as during, immediately before, or immediately after the Employee’s working hours, except where the situation dictates otherwise. Either party may continue a pre-disciplinary hearing for up to seventy-two (72) hours or any mutually agreed time.
