B. There shall be no discipline, discrimination, or retaliation against an employee because of his/her filing or participation in the grievance procedure.
MISCELLANEOUS GRIEVANCE PROVISIONS. 1. It shall be the general practice of all parties to process grievance procedures during times which do not interfere with assigned duties. In the event this is not possible, the grievance may, by mutual agreement, be processed during the working day and the Union (or the Employee if the Union will not represent) will pay any compensation or expenses to be paid to its witnesses.
2. Any step in the grievance procedure may be bypassed to the next level for any reason as determined by mutual agreement of the Union and the Employer.
MISCELLANEOUS GRIEVANCE PROVISIONS. Decisions rendered at Formal Level One (1), Formal Level Two (2), and Formal Level Three (3) of this Procedure shall be in writing.
MISCELLANEOUS GRIEVANCE PROVISIONS. (a) When a party fails to meet the time limits appearing in this Article or Article 6, the grievance shall automatically be decided in favor of the other party unless the Union and the Authority mutually agree in advance to waive the limits contained in these Articles, except that the timelines will be automatically tolled for the time period in which the parties are communicating regarding the scheduling of any grievance meeting. It is to be understood that the conditions as prescribed in this Section shall constitute full relief as requested on behalf of the grievant, or that the action(s) taken against said grievant shall stand. This applies where “automatically decided in favor of the other party” appears.
(b) Grievance answers must be in writing at all step levels.
(c) In the case of Step 2 and Step 3 grievance answers, the Union may elect to pick up such answers in person at the office of the Authority; provided further that they are not picked up later than the date required under this Agreement and the Union President or their representative shall sign for such grievances by affixing their signature, date and time such grievances were personally picked up.
(d) Grievance meetings shall be scheduled during an employee’s regular working hours during a time mutually agreeable to the Authority and the Union; a request to reschedule a grievance meeting shall not be unreasonably withheld. The aggrieved employee shall be paid for all time spent in the meeting (at the applicable straight time hourly rate or overtime, whichever is applicable), which shall be considered time actually worked under this Agreement.
(e) If a grievance meeting cannot be scheduled during an Operator’s regular working hours without causing a disruption to service, the Authority and the Union shall use their best efforts to schedule the grievance meeting on a date and at a time that minimizes the inconvenience to the Operator and starting no earlier than one (1) hour before and/or ending no later than one (1) hour after the Operator’s regular shift. Scheduling a grievance meeting during the Operator’s regular shift/work hours does not cause a disruption to the service if another Operator is available for assignment on the Extra Board.
