Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Can I still have Skelly Hearing?
Background:
* got 1 day suspension
* didn't have reasonable amount of time for pre-disciplinary hearing (only given 1 work day)
* didn't show me "copy of the charges and materials on which the action is based"
After disciplinary action, we request for post-Skelly hearing, after 1 month, management denied it because inside our memorandum of understanding (MOU):
"A Warning and One-Day Suspension may not be grieved or appealed."
May question is that:
Is Skelly Hearing part of appeal or grievance?
Can I still have Skelly Hearing?
Will that "A Warning and One-Day Suspension may not be grieved or appealed." take away my Skelly right?

Hard to say without knowing what bargaining unit you are in, and what the MOU says. Ask your union rep.
