Pre-Grievance Process. (a) Where an employee(s) has a workplace issue that could lead to a grievance, the Union will notify the Employer via e-mail within 7 days of the date the employee(s) became aware of the issue. The employee and a representative of the Union will attempt to resolve the matter with the Employer informally by providing the relevant facts, documentation and discussing the details of the issue.
Pre-Grievance Process. 12.01 The Union and the Employer encourage employees to resolve their complaints informally at the first level of supervision. A complaint presented under this procedure shall be identified as a pre-grievance, may be presented orally or in writing, and, if directed against the immediate supervisor, must be discussed with such supervisor prior to filing a formal grievance. The supervisor shall promptly meet with the employee. The employee may request the Union to participate in this meeting.
Pre-Grievance Process a. The Parties agree that the participation in the pre-grievance process does not constitute the formal election of the negotiated grievance procedure.
