Sure. If you’re a campaign lawyer. If you bargain, probably not.

It comes with the territory. I agree they are terrible especially the discipline cases. It’s always hit or miss with the arbitrator administering their own sense of industrial justice with no real guardrails and results in a lot of bad beats. Having been on both sides, union and management, you often walk away with a bad taste in your mouth.

Texas does not have a paid parental leave statute.

If paid leave above what is required is offered for parents, do we also have to provide the same benefit to other employees that are eligible for unpaid leave?
