Suspension removed for Moana Surfrider worker

2014-07-29 15.32.34Moana Surfrider worker Michelle Kobayashi recently had a 5 day suspension removed from her record with full back pay. The company issued the suspension because Michelle left her deposit box key dangling from the lock instead of securing it while she was in front helping guests check in. No money was lost and it was her first offense, so Local 5 successfully argued the discipline was too severe.
