What is a grievance? When can we file one?

Mar 21

Written By Max

In accordance with the State Employees Labor Relations Act, a “grievance” shall be defined as an employee’s, a group of employees’, or the Union’s expressed dissatisfaction with aspects of employment or working conditions under this collective bargaining agreement or the discriminatory application of a rule or regulation which has not been resolved to a satisfactory result through informal discussion with immediate supervisors.
To learn about filing a grievance, go to the current contract and see Article 13 Grievance Procedure.
Time limit: You should file a grievance as soon as you become aware of it.
Connect with your area steward for guidance. Work together with them on your approach to the grievance.
