NATIONAL GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE. Section 1. All grievances and/or questions of interpretation arising under the provisions of this National Master Agreement shall be resolved in the following manner: Deadlocked cases at an applicable first level grievance panel involving only National Master language may shall be submitted directly to the National Master Panel for decisions, unless mutually agreed otherwise by the Panel Co-Chairs. Those deadlocked cases which cannot be decided by a lower panel because of disagreement over the interpretation of National Master language may be submitted to the Master Panel for interpretation. Requests for interpretations with no factual case to be decided will be heard by the Master Panel by mutual agreement of the Co-Chairpersons. Interpretations rendered on factual cases by the National Grievance Committee will be sent back to the lower panel to be used to resolve the factual case. The Committee shall be composed of an equal number of Employer and Union representatives. The National Grievance Committee shall meet upon call of the Chairman of either the Employer or Union representatives on the National Grievance Committee. The National Grievance Committee shall adopt rules of procedure which may include the reference of disputed matters to subcommittees for investigation and report with the final decision or approval, however, to be made by the National Grievance Committee. If the National Grievance Committee resolves any dispute by a majority vote of those present and voting, such decision shall be final and binding upon all parties. When a case is docketed with the National Grievance Panel, a docketing fee will be applied as specified in the National Master UPS Agreement Rules of Procedure.
