Layman's Guide to Collective Bargaining Agreement Grievance Handling: Volume 1

A Layman's Guide to Collective Bargaining Agreement Grievance Handling aims to sharpen the skills of Union Members, Stewards, Grievance Committees, and Local Officers in day-to-day grievance handling. A properly written and prepared grievance will determine if the issue has merit and is to move forward in the grievance-arbitration process. Properly written grievances also aid in the ability to win arbitration hearings. If every member in the workplace understood the fundamentals of grievance handling, this would strengthen the servicing aspect and sharpen the skills of the Steward and Officers, making your Local Union a powerful force in your workplace.
