Procedure:
A grievance may be filed when there is a violation, misinterpretation, or inequitable application of any provisions of the collective bargaining agreement (contract) or of any District or administrative policy or rule. Before a grievance is filed, we make every effort possible to handle the situation through open communication with the party who is committing the violation. If you feel you have a situation that requires a grievance to be filed, please discuss it with your building representative(s),
If a grievance is the action we need to take, you can use the attached form , with the assistance of your building representative(s), to file a Stage I grievance. Depending on the results of the Stage I grievance, a member of the Executive Board will then take over if it is necessary to file a Stage II grievance. Please be aware that there are many technicalities and time frames associated with each stage in the process.
