The employee and his immediate supervisor shall attempt to resolve the dispute informally. If the employee is not satisfied with the oral response from his immediate supervisor or if such supervisor gives no answer within two (2) of the employee’s working days following the date upon which the employee first notified the supervisor of the matter, the employee may proceed to Step 1. Before a grievance is placed in writing and taken to Step 1, such grievance shall be screened by the grievance representative or appropriate alternate.
