INDIVIDUAL DISPUTE ADJUSTMENT. Pursuant to the provisions of Subsection 9(a) of the Labor Management Relations Act of 1949, as last amended, no provision of this Title shall be construed to restrict or prohibit an individual employee or group of employees from presenting disputes to Company and to have such disputes adjusted without the intervention of Union, provided that the adjustment shall not be inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, and that Union shall be given an opportunity to be present at such adjustment. (Amended 1-1-91) An employee's election under this Section shall not preclude the employee's later consenting to Union's filing a grievance on his/her behalf if the employee is not satisfied with the results. Such grievance, however, must be filed within the time limits provided in Section 102.3, and such time limits are not delayed or suspended by the grievant's original choice to pursue the dispute without Union's intervention. (Amended 1-1-91) Unless the employee consents to Union's later filing of a timely grievance, the procedures and grievance "steps" set forth in the foregoing Sections of this Title are not available to the employee.
INDIVIDUAL DISPUTE ADJUSTMENT. Nothing in this Agreement in any manner affects the right of an individual employee or group of employees to present grievances to the Company under this Article nor affects the rights of the Union under the National Labor Relations Act, as amended. The Company agrees, however, that after a grievance arising under any provision of this Agreement has been referred to a Representative of the Union and such Representative has dealt with a Company Representative with respect thereto, no Company Representative will adjust or attempt to adjust the grievance with the employee or employees involved unless a Representative of the Union is first given an opportunity to be present at the adjustment.
INDIVIDUAL DISPUTE ADJUSTMENT. Notwithstanding the aforementioned procedure, any individual employee shall have the right to present grievances to the Company and to have such grievances adjusted without the intervention of the Union, provided that the adjustment shall be consistent with this Agreement and, provided further, that the Union's Business Representative shall be given an opportunity to be present at such adjustment.
