Josephus Long, assistant director for administration and finance at UHS, said yesterday his request that Peoples not return to work until further notice is not a suspension.
"I'm just temporarily not having him come in until I can determine some events that occurred last week," Long said, adding that he is concerned the Peoples' performance in the UHS kitchen might endanger the health of patients in the UHS infirmary.
Long and Donna N. Hill, UHS dietician, sent three warning slips to Peoples last month. They said that he changed the infirmary menu without orders to do so and that he left the UHS kitchen dirty.
Peoples filed a grievance against the UHS management a month ago, charging it with harassment and attempts to remove him from his job before he becomes active in contract negotiations between Harvard and Local 26 in April, 1980. Peoples will retire in February.
When Peoples filed the grievance, Edward B. Childs, chief steward in Adams House dining hall, said that the UHS management complaints against Peoples were insignificant and that he believed they resulted from Peoples' labor activity. Childs was unavailable for comment yesterday.
