Systemic Issues. In the case of possible systemic issues or multiple complaints, the Employer and the Union may agree to seek the assistance of an independent investigator agreeable to the parties. The investigator will examine any underlying issues that may contribute to harassment in the workplace and recommend preventative and corrective measures to the parties. This provision does not preclude an employer from seeking an independent investigator if the Union does not agree to an appointment and/or the Employer deems one necessary on the merits of the situation.
