10. I'm sorry that you are mistaken

Without specifying in an individual contract rights only afforded in a Collective Bargaining Agreement, you are essentially an "At Will" employee.

By way of example, as I stated in the OP, each player accused in "Bountgate" had they're punishments reduced or rescinded.

Yet the coach, Sean Payton, is considered a management employee with an individual contract and not covered by the CBA, so he had no recourse, and had to accept the one year suspension without pay and a very hefty fine.

So, as I say, I'm sorry to have to correct you, but arbitration is reserved for union members with a CBA who can only be disciplined "for cause".

This is what I do for a living.
