UPEC to Continue Arguing Damages Case

Tuesday, November 25, 2008

Monday this week, UPEC began hearings for the damages phase of a case related to Blood-Borne Pathogen Exposures and Occupational Exposure on behalf of employees at Golden Gate National Recreation Area.  Previously, in the arbitration on substantive issues, it was found that the GGNRA had not implemented a program designed to prevent Blood-Borne Pathogen exposures and employees were found potentially eligible to recover damages for 11 years of 8% Environmental Differential Pay (EDP), plus interest, as a consequence of occupational exposures in the worksites.
The hearings will continue on December 1, with the Union calling their remaining witnesses and GGNRA presenting their remaining witnesses.
