Common use of Employee Relations Division/Division Level Clause in Contracts

Employee Relations Division/Division Level. If a mutually acceptable solution has not been reached in Step 1, the grievant shall submit the grievance in writing on appropriate forms which shall provide a detailed statement of the grievance, including dates, names, and places, applicable Agreement articles, and the specific remedy or action requested. The written grievance shall be filed in duplicate with the Employee Relations Division within ten (10) working days of oral notification of the immediate supervisor’s decision. The Employee Relations Division shall make a determination of whether the grievance is a matter for which the Grievance Procedure is appropriate after consultation with CNA. In making such determination, the Employee Relations Division shall determine if: (1) the grievance has been filed in a timely manner; (2) the initial step has been followed; (3) if the grievance alleges that a specific Memorandum of Understanding article(s) has been misapplied or violated; and (4) the matter complained of in the grievance is covered by a specific provision of the Agreement. The determination and notification to the grievant and CNA will generally be made within five (5) working days of receipt of the grievance. CNA may appeal this determination directly to an arbitrator in accordance with the provisions of this procedure within five (5) working days following notification by the Employee Relations Division to determine the grievability/arbitrability of the grievance. If objection is made to the procedural and/or substantive grievability of a grievance at this step or any other step of the grievance procedure, the parties may mutually agree to continue processing the grievance on the merits. However, it is expressly agreed that such objections to the procedural and/or substantive grievability of a grievance are preserved in any arbitration hearing and that no waiver will result from the subsequent processing and discussion of the grievance on the merits.
