Common use of DEFINITION AND APPLICATION Clause in Contracts

DEFINITION AND APPLICATION. 1. Grievances subject to the procedures set forth hereinafter are hereby defined as any dispute or controversy between the District and/or its representatives concerning the interpretation, application, or enforcement of the provisions of this agreement, including this article, or the rules, regulations, or orders of the District or those of the State Board of Education, or any other dispute concerning the terms of employment or allegation of bias or vindictive action against the personnel. A grievance may be filed by one or more of the personnel having the same dispute or controversy, or may be filed by CASA itself, except that in no case may CASA represent both the grievant and the person against whom the grievance is brought. 2. Any personnel shall have the right to process grievances individually and without CASA representation for said purpose and shall have the right to be represented by a person of his own choosing for said purpose, but at his own expense. The District agrees that it will not recognize or effectuate representation of the personnel by any employees’ organization other than CASA. 3. In case of any grievance involving any personnel, CASA shall have the right to intervene as a party in the processing or hearing of that grievance upon the request of the grievant and to appeal from any disposition of said grievance that it deems contrary to this agreement. Regardless of CASA participation in the processing or hearing of any grievance, the District or its representatives at each step of the grievance procedure shall supply CASA with copies of all non-confidential correspondence and written decision of said grievance, upon written request. 4. Nothing herein above shall be construed to require CASA to process any grievance or to appeal from the disposition of any grievance where CASA deems the grievance or appeal to be without sufficient merit or where the processing of the grievance is contrary to the position of CASA as to the implementation or enforcement of this agreement on behalf of the other personnel in the unit.
