C)In 1972,Professor Carroll R.Daugherty,who served as a labor arbitrator,put forth seven tests to help future arbitrators decide whether employee termination or other adverse actions in union settings,such as demotion,met just-cause standards.Although established for use by arbitrators,the questions provide useful guidance for management whose companies have just-cause employment provisions.Prior to making a decision to terminate an employee,management can review whether the just-cause standard will likely be upheld if the termination is subsequently challenged by the former employee.None of the seven tests pertain to employer decisions in the hiring decision.
