Synopsis Grievant is an equipment operator, in the Transportation Workers 3 classification. Grievant argues that Respondent’s requirement that he possess a Class A-CDL to advance in their recently implemented tier program is unreasonable. Grievant failed to demonstrate by a preponderance of the evidence that Respondent acted in an arbitrary and capricious manner by including the Class A-CDL license as a component of the Transportation Worker Apprenticeship Program. Grievant also failed to demonstrate that he was the victim of discrimination.
