(1) Any employee or group of employees shall, with or without a Union representative, discuss his or their grievance with his or their immediate supervisor.

Section 2. Time extensions beyond those stipulated in this Article may be arrived at by mutual agreement, in writing, of the parties. Section 3. If the Town fails to meet and/or to answer any grievance within the prescribed time limits of this Article, such dispute may be processed to the next step. Section 4.

Any grievance which is not presented in writing at Step 2 within ten (10) working days of the event of occurrence giving rise thereto shall be waived, and any decision not appealed within the specified time limits shall be considered settled according to the decisions at the previous step.
Formal Grievance Procedure 1. In the event that a complaint cannot be resolved informally, the parties shall pursue the first step in the formal grievance procedure before making any application for arbitration, unless the College and the AAUP agree in writing to alter the procedure or waive one or more of the steps by proceeding directly to arbitration. 2. Upon written request of the AAUP Contract Compliance Officer, the College shall submit any requested documents in its possession which may be necessary for investigation of the grievance.
