The Holcombe Case

In Progress

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Sherman L. Holcombe, the shop steward of the Radcliffe dining halls, has another hearing on Tuesday with Personnel Office officials to discuss further a suspension he received last month.

The complex story, so far, is this: Holcombe was suspended after his supervisors said he was taking unauthorized time off work and violating other rules; Holcombe said he was simply doing his job as shop steward.

So Holcombe got a three-day suspension, which after a hearing was later reduced to one day. But he is unwilling to accept any suspension at all, and hence sent his last paycheck back to Personnel because it included a pay reduction stemming from the suspension.

Holcombe said this week he will not accept the paycheck "unless they tear up my suspension form."
