PRE-GRIEVANCE CONSULTATION Sample Clauses

PRE-GRIEVANCE CONSULTATION. The Board and the Union agree that a number of potential grievances may be avoided if the affected employee and the appropriate supervisor are able to discuss and resolve problems by these means. There may be occasions, however, when the employee believes that, although the defined problem might be resolved by such discussions, when the employee would prefer that such consultations and discussions be held, on an informal basis, by a Union representative and a representative of the College. In such cases, the employee may contact either the Union President or the Grievance Chair to set forth the problem area. Thereupon the Union representative shall contact either the employee’s immediate supervisor or the administrator in charge of the implementation and enforcement of this Agreement as designated by the President of the College. If the potential grievance is not resolved by this procedure, then in that event, the filing of a grievance in Step 1 shall commence. Such consultation is optional.
