ARTICLE 34.
GARNISHMENTS

In the event of notice to an Employer of a garnishment or impending garnishment, the Employer may take disciplinary action if the employee fails to satisfy such garnishment within a seventy-two (72) - hour period (limited to working days) after notice to the employee.  However, the Employer may not discharge any employee by reason of the fact that his earnings have been subject to garnishment for any one (1) indebtedness.  If the Employer is notified of three (3) garnishments irrespective of whether satisfied by the employee within the seventy-two (72) - hour period, the employee may be subject to discipline, including discharge in extreme cases.  However, if the Employer has an established practice of discipline or discharge with a fewer number of garnishments or impending garnishments, if the employee fails to adjust the matter within the seventy-two (72) - hour period, such past practice shall be applicable in those cases.
