The grievance form must provide sufficient particulars, including article violations alleged and the particulars of the violation(s), to allow the responding Party to fully understand the allegations against it. The Parties will attempt, and have the full authority, to settle grievances at the local level. However, settlements reached at the local level will be made without prejudice or precedent and will not be referred to or imposed by either Party to this Agreement unless the national representatives for the Corporation and the Union jointly agree otherwise. The national representatives may review local level settlements and, where the settlement is deemed to be in violation of the Agreement or the Canada Labour Code, ask the local grievance committee to resolve such a violation. At each place of employment, local grievance meetings shall be held as required, or at mutually agreed upon regularly scheduled intervals. Unless the Parties agree otherwise, a local grievance meeting must take place within twenty (20) business days from the date of the filing of the grievance. Upon notification to the Industrial Relations department, national National Union representatives may attend local meetings. The Industrial Relations Officer may also attend. Further, by mutual agreement of the Local Co-Chairs, the manager and/or supervisor the grievor(s) involved in the particular grievance may attend. The Local Co-Chairs will set agenda items five (5) business days in advance The local Union grievance committee shall not exceed three (3) members except as otherwise agreed and they shall suffer no loss in regular salary for time spent during their normal working hours attending such meetings. The local Union members will be given adequate access at the workplace to the grievor(s) and other involved employees and reasonable working time to conduct their investigations. At the local meeting, the Parties will exchange relevant information relating to the issue(s) in dispute and will make a sincere effort to resolve the dispute. Based on their discussions at the local level meeting, and as soon as is practicable following the meeting, the Parties will jointly prepare a Summary and Status Form for each grievance (in the manner prescribed at Appendix RP). A copy of each Summary and Status Form will be forwarded to the Industrial Relations Officer and the national National Union representative, at the time the grievance is referred to the national level. The Parties agree that the Summary and Status Form is without prejudice; neither Party can rely upon the Form or its content in any arbitration or any other legal proceeding.
