Grievance Review Board. The Grievance Review Board shall consist of two Union representatives (Chief Stewards) and two Management representatives (at a high level), who will have the authority to agree unanimously to a final and binding settlement of any grievance or unanimously agree to the scheduling of any grievance, save and except the following types of grievances, which shall go directly to mediation or arbitration, as the parties may agree, or the Chief Arbitrator so determines: i. Grievances requiring medical disclosure; ii. Policy grievances; iii. Terminations; iv. Cases where the parties have agreed that facts should only be disclosed to those directly involved and the appropriate counsel acting on behalf of the parties for final resolution. Grievance Review Board meetings are to be scheduled regularly as agreed to by the parties or ordered by the Chief Arbitrator in all work locations. The purpose of the Grievance Review Board will be to attempt to settle all cases, failing which the Grievance Review Board will agree to facts where possible and ensure that all documentary and other evidence is disclosed by the parties. If not resolved at the Grievance Review Board, grievances move to arbitration. Unless the parties agree to regular arbitration, or the Arbitrator so orders, all grievances shall be submitted to Expedited Arbitration.
