Grievance Resolution Panel. Within fifteen (15) days of receiving the Step 1 decision, the Union may move the grievance to the Grievance Resolution Panel described below or to the grievance process described in Section 29.4, Step 2. Identification of the employee’s choice must be in writing and delivered to the agency’s Labor Relations Office in Olympia. An employee’s failure to identify his or her choice of venue will result in the grievance being appealed to the Grievance Resolution Panel. If the union requests to move the grievance to Section 29.4, Step 2 and the grievance is not resolved, it will return to the provisions as set forth in Section 29.5, Step 3.
Grievance Resolution Panel. The Employer and the Union will establish a permanent committee for the resolution of grievances, referred to as the Grievance Resolution Panel. The panel will not have the authority to contradict, add to, subtract from or otherwise modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The panel will only have the authority to interpret the provisions of this Agreement to the extent necessary to render a decision on the case being heard.
