Step 2 - Executive Director. If no satisfactory resolution of the grievance occurs at Step 1, within 15 working days of the receipt of the supervisor's written decision, the grievant may appeal to the Executive Director. Upon receipt of the written request, the Executive Director has 15 working days to meet with the grievant. The Executive Director shall have 15 working days after the meeting to effect a resolution of the grievance or, if a satisfactory resolution cannot be achieved, to issue a written decision.
Step 2 - Executive Director. If the decision of the immediate supervisor/manager is unsatisfactory then within five (5) working days from receipt of the reply at Step 1, the grievance shall be submitted in writing on a standard form provided by the Union, indicating the nature of the alleged violation and the article in the collective agreement that is alleged to have been violated, to the Executive Director or her designate. The Executive-Director or her designate shall arrange a meeting with the Grievance Committee along with a Staff Representative from the International Union within five (5) working days of the matter being referred. Within five (5) working days following the meeting, Executive Director or her designate shall deliver her decision in writing to the grievance to the Unit Chairperson.
Step 2 - Executive Director. The ED, or their designee, will schedule a grievance meeting within ten (10) working days of receiving the written grievance. The ED shall inform the parties after receiving appropriate request for such a meeting from the employee or Union at least five (5) working days before the meeting. If an individual employee filed the grievance, the grievant will discuss the grievance with the above ED or their designee, at the meeting. A Union xxxxxxx and/or Union Representative may be present at this meeting at the grievant’ s option. If the Union filed the grievance on behalf of an employee, multiple employees, or itself, a Union xxxxxxx and/or Union Representative may be present at the grievance meeting. The ED, or their designee, will respond in writing within ten (10) working days after such conference. Throughout the grievance procedure, the grievant, Union Xxxxxxx, and any other employee participants (for example witnesses to a relevant event) must receive prior approval from their immediate supervisor prior to participating in any grievance meetings while “on the clock.” Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
