Code Nos. 3501 and 3502) protesting a discharge for “serious misconduct,” the arbitrator must first decide whether the discharge was for cause and then, after such a finding, the arbitrator must next decide whether the discharge was for conduct that the Producer properly determined qualifies as “serious misconduct” as provided in Paragraphs 62(f)(1)(i) and 62(f)(2)(i).
