Progressive Action. Every effort will be made to apply discipline in a uniform manner to all Bargaining Unit members except legitimate mitigating circumstances may be taken into consideration. The principles of progressive disciplinary action will be followed with respect to minor offenses. The progression, where appropriate, will include at least an oral reprimand, a written reprimand, and a short term and then long-term suspension for the same or related minor offenses prior to dismissal, pursuant to the maximum penalty guidelines.
