Investigation Upon receipt of the complaint, the person contacted will immediately inform their Union or Company counterpart and together they will then the employee and advise the employee if the complaint can be resolved immediately or if the complaint should be formalized in writing. Properly completed copies of this complaint will be forwarded to the Company and the Union. A formal investigation of the complaint will then begin by the Company and the Union or their designates, the alleged harasser, witnesses and other persons names in the complaint. Any related documents may also be reviewed. Resolution The Company and the Union, or their designates, will then complete a report on the findings of the investigation. The Company and the Union or their designates will make a determination on an appropriate resolution, in an attempt to resolve within ten (10) days and ensure the resolution is fair and consistent with the intent of the Company and National CAW policy regarding discrimination and harassment in the workplace. At the conclusion of this step, the complaint, if unresolved, will be inserted into the third step of the grievance procedure for resolution. In the event that the complaint is not resolved by the parties at the third step of the grievance procedure, it may be appealed to arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the Collective Agreement. The Parties complaints should not be pursued through both the grievance procedure and the Human Rights Complaint procedure. The pursuit of frivolous allegations through the Human Rights Complaint Procedure has a detrimental effect on the spirit and intent for which this policy was rightfully developed and should be discouraged. All documentation is to be secured in a location agreeable to all parties. All employees have the right to file a complaint with the provincial Human Rights Commission and to seek redress under the Human Rights Code.
