Grievances

Justice scales image

A grievance is a claim by a member(s) of the bargaining unit that the employer (supervisors or management) have violated a provision/term of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (Contract).  

The Grievance Procedure is set forth in Article IV of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.  Those are the rules.  It is advisable that you read this article so that you have an overall sense of the procedure.  Remember that there are strict time limits for each step that must be followed or the grievance will be dropped.
