This meeting shall take place within ten (10) days of the request being made and shall delay the reply required by the period of time between the request for the meeting and the date of the meeting.

Grievance Hearing. An aggrieved party may request a grievance hearing without participating in ADR or, if ADR is selected, if it fails to result in a mutually agreeable resolution. The aggrieved party should make a written request for a hearing to the designated program supervisor or director. A request for a hearing must be made within one year after the date of the alleged occurrence. At the time a request for a hearing is made, the program should make available to the aggrieved party information that it relied upon in its disciplinary decision. The Maryland-DC Campus Compact will arrange for one or more pre-hearing conferences at a time mutually convenient to the parties. Pre-hearing conferences are not a substitute for a hearing. They are intended to facilitate a mutually agreeable resolution of the matter to make a hearing unnecessary or to narrow the issues to be decided at the hearing. The format of the pre-hearing conference may be flexible, involving meetings with one party at a time and/or with both parties together. Pre-hearing conferences are conducted by the SOS program coordinator/director. The hearing will be conducted by the SOS program coordinator/director. The person conducting the hearing may not have participated in any previous decisions concerning the issue in dispute. (Note: To ensure impartiality in the hearing, the Maryland-DC Campus Compact may choose to designate someone other than the program director to approve disciplinary actions regarding members, leaving the director available to conduct grievance hearings.) A hearing must be held no later than 30 calendar days after the filing of the grievance, and a written decision must be made no later than 60 calendar days after filing.
Grievance Hearing. The grievance committee thus designated shall meet upon the date selected pursuant to the procedure described above, and shall consider and attempt to resolve the dispute brought before it. The hearing shall be conducted in an orderly fashion, but rules of evidence and technicalities of procedure shall not be controlling. It is the intent of this Basic Agreement that the committee members shall use their good faith, best judgment and common sense, as persons experienced in the motion picture and television industry, in attempting to resolve the dispute brought before it. No matter shall be considered by the grievance committee unless a quorum is present. A quorum shall consist of six (6) members. If any four (4) members of the committee shall agree on a decision, such decision shall be final and binding upon the parties to the proceedings and any interpretation of this Basic Agreement made in such decision shall also be binding upon the writer or writers involved. If no decision is agreed upon, then in any subsequent arbitration or other proceeding, no reference shall be made to the grievance proceeding or to any statements or discussions therein, or to the failure of the grievance committee to settle the dispute.
Grievance Hearing. If the Local Union or the unrepresented employee is not satisfied with the Step 1 disposition by the Assistant County Administrator, the Union or unrepresented employee may file the grievance with the County Administrator (or his/her designated representative) provided it is filed within ten (10) working days after receipt of the Step 1 response. Within ten (10) working days after receipt of the grievance, the County Administrator (or his/her designated representative) shall contact the Union’s Business Agent to set up a meeting with the Union and the grievant to discuss the grievance. The County Administrator (or his/her designated representative) shall issue a written response within ten (10) working days of the meeting to the Union and the grievant. The County’s response shall contain the reason(s) for the decision and shall be delivered by hand delivery, or by U.S. certified mail, with a copy forwarded to the Business Agent. If the matter can be resolved at this step, no further action will be needed. STEP 3 ARBITRATION If the grievance is not resolved at Step 2, the Union has the right to proceed to Arbitration as follows: Within thirty (30) working days of the Step 2 response, the Union can initiate arbitration only by submitting a written request for a seven (7) person panel “Metropolitan” list from the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS). Once the list of seven (7) arbitrators is received by the County and the Union, the parties will alternately strike panel members until only one member remains. The sole remaining panel member shall arbitrate the grievance. When arbitrability is raised by the County with respect to any grievance, the issue of arbitrability shall be determined by the arbitrator no less than thirty (30) days prior to commencement of an arbitration hearing on the grievance itself. The arbitrator’s decision shall not amend, modify, nullify, ignore or add to the provisions of this Agreement. The arbitrator’s authority shall be strictly limited to the issue(s) presented by the parties and the decision must be based solely on interpretation of the meaning of the express relevant language of the Agreement. Each party shall bear the full costs for its representation in the arbitration proceedings. The parties shall share the cost of the arbitrator equally. Arbitration hearings shall be conducted in a County designated meeting room in New Port Xxxxxx, Florida.
