An individual teacher, or group of teachers, may present a grievance and may do so through the exclusive representative, and the exclusive representative may thus be given an opportunity to be present at all stages of the grievance machinery. Alternatively, the Association may grieve rather than an individual teacher or group of teachers if the Association seeks to redress a system-wide grievance which concerns a right under this Contract accruing to the Association as an organized entity rather than to any individual teacher or group of teachers.
