Common use of GRIEVANCE - STEP 3 Clause in Contracts

GRIEVANCE - STEP 3. If the dispute is not resolved satisfactorily in Step 2, the initiator of the grievance (i.e., the Employer or the Union) may, within 15 work days of the decision at Step 2, give notice of its desire to submit the grievance to Arbitration for final and binding settlement on all parties. The notice shall contain a statement of the grievance in the form submitted at Step 2 and the name of the initiator’s appointee to the Grievance Arbitration Board. The recipient of the notice shall, within seven (7) calendar days inform the other party of the name of its appointee to the Grievance Arbitration Board. The two appointees so selected shall, within seven (7) calendar days of the appointment of the second of them, appoint a third person who shall be the Chairperson. If the recipient of the notice fails to appoint an appointee within the time limit indicated above, the appointment shall be made by the Director of Mediation Services upon the request of either party. If the two appointees fail to agree upon a Chairperson within the time limit, the appointment shall be made by the Director of Mediation Services upon the request of either party. The Grievance Arbitration Board shall hear and determine the matter and shall issue an award in writing and the decision is final and binding upon the parties and upon any employee affected by it. The decision of the majority is the award of the Grievance Arbitration Board, but if there is no majority, the decision of the Chairperson governs and it shall be deemed to be the award of the Grievance Arbitration Board. The parties may by mutual agreement elect Arbitration by a single Arbitrator under the provisions of the Alberta Labour Relations Code. If the parties are unable to mutually agree to finalization by a single Arbitrator, the grievance shall be settled by a Grievance Arbitration Board as provided for above. Each party to the difference shall bear the expense of its respective appointee to the Grievance Arbitration Board and the two parties shall bear equally the expenses of the Chairperson. It is agreed by the parties that the Arbitration Board may not by its decision alter, amend, add to or delete from the terms and conditions or the published wage and benefit programs, of this Agreement.
