Dispute Resolution Philosophy. β The Employer and the Union commit to address and resolve issues in a fair and responsible manner at the lowest possible level, and to use mediation and conflict resolution techniques when possible. Our relationship depends on mutual respect and trust based on our ability to recognize and resolve disagreements rather than avoiding them. Prior to filing a grievance, the Union and the Employer will attempt wherever possible to resolve problems informally and not to resort to the formal grievance procedure.
