Question

The grievance procedure is the formal method identified in contract agreements to correct situations that the union feels are not in concert with the negotiated agreement. Why do you think it is so difficult for union and management to resolve grievances when there is a written document (the negotiated agreement) that may be used as the "rule book"? What elements clutter the grievance procedure?

What elements clutter the grievance procedure?

Answer 1

Using written document As a rule book eliminates the current criteria or condition that is implemented in the specific negotiation process. When the contract was made, conditions were different and conditions can change over time which provides extensive rigidity in understanding used other than contract in negotiation process. As creation agreement is basic guidelines and advance guidelines of of operational communication between an employer and employee Union. Using written document As a rule book for such a specific process would not be adequate. It would directly decrease the overall quality of fair negotiation delivery between employer and employee.
