Grievance Committee

The grievance committee has the job of determining if a contract violation has occurred due to action by the administration or their representative. If we feel a violation has occurred, contact is made with the person who caused such a situation or the appropriated supervisor to see if the error can be corrected. This is usually handled by the president or the labor relations consultant. If the situation is not resolved to the union’s satisfaction, a grievance is filed and contract provisions for hearings and arbitration are followed. By contract, a grievance must be filed 30 days from when the person filing reasonably knew of the event causing the violation. Failure to file on time means the grievance can not be heard. The committee would like to know of the situation and have the necessary facts at least 14 days before the deadline in order to do its job.
