8.02 At the time formal discipline is imposed or at any stage of the grievance procedure, including the complaint stage, a nurse is entitled to be represented by her/his union representative. In the case of suspension or discharge, the Employer shall notify the nurse of this right in advance. The Employer also agrees, as a good labour relations practice, it will also notify the Bargaining Unit.
8.03 It is the intent of the parties that complaints of employees shall be adjusted as quickly as possible, and it is understood that the Union has no grievance concerning an individual nurse until the Director of Care or her/his designate has been given an opportunity of adjusting the complaint. Such complaint shall be discussed with the Director of Care within fifteen (15) working days after the circumstances giving rise to it have occurred. This discussion may include consultation, advice and assistance from others. If there is no settlement within nine (9) working days, it shall then be taken up as a grievance within nine (9) working days in the following manner and sequence: The Union may present the grievance to the Administrator, or her/his designate, who shall render her/his decision within five (5) working days after the presentation of the grievance to her/him. The parties may, if they so desire, meet to discuss the grievance at a time and place suitable to both parties. If the decision is unsatisfactory, then the grievance may be presented in the following manner: Within ten (10) working days after the decision is given at Step No. 1, the aggrieved employee, and/or the Grievance Committee shall meet with a committee appointed by the Board of Directors of the Manor to consider the grievance. At this stage the employee and/or the Grievance Committee may be accompanied by a representative of the Union. The decision of the committee of the Board of Directors will be rendered in writing to the Labour Relations Officer and the bargaining unit representative within ten (10) working days following such a meeting.
