Grievance Definitions A grievance shall be defined as any difference arising out of an interpretation, application, administration or alleged violation of this Collective Agreement.

Such grievance shall be initiated at Step 1 of the grievance procedure as outlined in Clause 8.05 except in cases of suspension which will commence at Step 2 or dismissal which will commence at Step 3; or (b) a group grievance is a dispute affecting two (2) or more Employees. Such grievance shall be initiated at Step 2 and processed there from in the same manner as an individual grievance as outlined in Clause 8.05. A group grievance shall list all Employees affected by the grievance and the results of such grievance shall apply, proportionately if applicable, to all Employees listed on the original grievance; or (c) a policy grievance is a dispute between the Parties which, due to its nature, is not properly the subject of an individual or group grievance. Such grievance shall be initiated, in writing, within twenty (20) days of the date the aggrieved Party first became aware of or reasonably should have become aware of the event leading to the grievance. If the policy grievance is a Union grievance, it shall commence at Step 2.

Upon receipt of response or failure to reply, the Employer may advance the grievance to arbitration. Notwithstanding Clause 8.01(a), (b) and (c) and Clause 8.05 the Parties may mutually agree to advance the grievance to a subsequent step in the grievance process. In the event any management officers as named in the grievance steps are one and the same, the subsequent steps will be deemed to have been complied with.
