Xxxxxxx Representation. The Company agrees that a Xxxxxxx or Chief Xxxxxxx be present at meetings where disciplinary action is a likely consequence. If such disciplinary action is decided upon, due to circumstances which develop during a meeting, the Xxxxxxx or Chief Xxxxxxx will be invited to join the meeting prior to the decision being rendered. (If the employee is a Xxxxxxx, they shall have the right to have the attendance of another Xxxxxxx or Chief Xxxxxxx at the meeting.) Employees dismissed for any reason whatsoever who feel that they have been unjustly dealt with may promptly notify their Xxxxxxx or the Chief Xxxxxxx who shall, if any grievance is to be filed, notify the Department or Human Resources Manager in writing within five (5) working days from the date of dismissal. All preliminary steps of the grievance procedure prior to Step #3 will be omitted in such cases. Such special grievance may be settled by maintaining management’s position, or by reinstating the employee with full compensation for time lost, or by any other arrangement which is just and equitable in the opinion of the conferring parties, or in the opinion of an arbitration board if the matter is referred to such board.
