Informal Problem Solving. Section 1. The Parties recognize that the traditional methods of dispute resolution (e.g. grievance/arbitration and unfair labor practice charges) are not always the most efficient means of problem resolution. The Parties also recognize that early, open exchange regarding any complaint/problem/concern at the earliest stages reduces the use of and need for traditional and more cumbersome, adversarial dispute resolution procedures. Therefore, the Parties agree to use the provision of this Article to the fullest extent possible before resorting to other avenues of dispute resolution.
