HUNTINGTON A local union is suing West Virginia American Water Company on behalf of several members alleging that union members could not be discharged from the water company unless just cause existed.
Earl Dishman, Adam Wellman and Arlie Crane were members of the Utility Workers United Association Local 537, which had exclusive collective bargaining representatives for the clerical, production and maintenance employees at WVAWC s Huntington unit in Cabell and adjoining counties, according to a complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia.
Dishman was discharged from WVAWC on July 30, while Wellman and Crane were disciplined. Local 537 says there was no just cause for Dishman s termination or Wellman and Crane s discipline.
