Common use of Grievance Reinstatement Clause in Contracts

Grievance Reinstatement. During the current negotiations, the parties acknowledged the desirability of ensuring prompt, fair, and final resolution of employee grievances, to provide certainty and stability to the process. Accordingly, the parties view any attempt to reinstate a grievance properly disposed of as contrary to the purpose for which the grievance process was established and a violation of the fundamental principles of collective bargaining. However, in those instances where the National Union CAW, by either its Executive Board, Public Review Board, or Constitutional Convention Appeals Committee has reviewed the disposition of a grievance and found that such disposition was improperly effected by the Union or a Union representative, the National Union may inform the Employee Relations department in writing that such grievance is reinstated in the grievance procedure at the step at which the original disposition of the grievance occurred. It is specifically understood, however, that the Company shall not be responsible for any liabilities which may have accrued from the date of the initial disposition of the grievance by the Union, up to and including the date which the grievance is reinstated.
