Pursuant to Minn. Stat. §§ 13.43, subd. 2(b) and 179A.04, subd. 3, effective August 1, 2010, the names of some grievants may have been redacted. Subd. 2(b) states:
In the case of arbitration proceedings arising under collective bargaining agreements, a final disposition occurs at the conclusion of the arbitration proceedings, or upon the failure of the employee to elect arbitration within the time provided by the collective bargaining agreement. A disciplinary action does not become public data if an arbitrator sustains a grievance and reverses all aspects of any disciplinary action.
