Informal Resolutions. Most grievances arise from misunderstandings or disputes, which can be settled promptly and satisfactorily on an informal basis. The use of ADR is encouraged. The parties agree that every effort will be made to settle grievances at the lowest possible level.

If there is to be more than one Department official involved in the grievance meeting, the Union will be so notified in advance.
