Correspondence The Employer agrees that all correspondence between the Employer and the Union related to matters covered in this Agreement, shall be sent to the President of the Union or designate. The Employer agrees that a copy of any correspondence between the Employer or Employer's official and any employees in the bargaining unit covered by this Agreement, pertaining to the interpretation or application of any clause in this Agreement, shall be forwarded to the President of the Union or designate.
CENTRAL GRIEVANCE PROCESS The following process pertains exclusively to grievances on central matters that have been referred to the central process. In accordance with the School Boards Collective Bargaining Act central matters may also be grieved locally, in which case local grievance processes will apply.
Collection Notices The Program Agent (acting with the consent or at the direction of the Required Committed Investors) is authorized at any time when an Amortization Event exists or a Collection Notice Event has occurred and is continuing, to date and to deliver to the Collection Banks the Collection Notices and thereafter to make transfers and payments from Blocked Accounts and the Collection Account in lieu of Servicer in accordance with Article II of this Agreement. In making any such transfers and payments, the Program Agent shall be entitled to rely on the periodic reports provided by Servicer hereunder and upon notices from any Managing Agent and any Investor with respect to amounts payable to such Managing Agent (or members of its Investor Group) or to such Investor and upon the Program Agent’s records with respect to payments to be made to the Program Agent, any Managing Agent and any Investor and shall be fully protected in acting thereon; provided that if the Program Agent determines in good faith that it does not have sufficient information to determine amounts transferable or payable from Blocked Accounts and the Collection Account hereunder or has conflicting information with respect thereto, the Program Agent shall be entitled, but shall not be required, to transfer such amounts to, or to retain such amounts in, the Collection Account pending its receipt of further information satisfactory to it. Seller hereby transfers to the Program Agent for the benefit of the Investors, effective when the Program Agent delivers any such notice, the exclusive ownership and control of the applicable Blocked Account and control of the applicable Lock-Box. In case any authorized signatory of Seller whose signature appears on a Blocked Account Agreement shall cease to have such authority before the delivery of such notice, such Collection Notice shall nevertheless be valid as if such authority had remained in force. Seller hereby authorizes the Program Agent, and agrees that the Program Agent shall be entitled, when an Amortization Event exists or a Collection Notice Event has occurred and is continuing, to (A) endorse Seller’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections, (B) enforce the Receivables, the related Contracts and the Related Security and (C) take such action as shall be necessary or desirable to cause all cash, checks and other instruments constituting Collections of Receivables to come into the possession of the Program Agent rather than Seller.
Grievance Process (a) Either party, with the agreement of the other party, may submit a grievance to Grievance Mediation at any time within ten (10) working days after the Employer’s decision has been rendered at the step prior to arbitration. Where the matter is so referred, the mediation process shall take place before the matter is referred to Arbitrator.
(b) Grievance Mediation shall be scheduled within twenty (20) working days of the grievance being submitted to mediation, or longer period as agreed by the parties.
(c) No matter may be submitted to Grievance Mediation which has not been properly carried through the grievance procedure, provided that the parties may extend the time limits fixed in the grievance procedure.
(d) The parties shall agree on a mediator.
(e) Proceedings before the Mediator shall be informal. Accordingly, the rules of evidence will not apply, no record of the proceedings shall be made and legal counsel shall not be used by either party, unless otherwise mutually agreed.
(f) If possible, an agreed statement of facts will be provided to the Mediator, and if possible, in advance of the Grievance Mediation Conference.
(g) The Mediator will have the authority to meet separately with either party.
(h) If no settlement is reached within five (5) working days following Grievance Mediation, the parties are free to submit the matter to Arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the collective agreement. In the event that a grievance which has been mediated subsequently proceeds to arbitration, no person serving as the Mediator may serve as an Arbitrator, unless otherwise mutually agreed. Nothing said or done by the mediator may be referred to Arbitration.
(i) The Union and Employer will share the cost of the Mediator, if any.
Grievance Processing Union stewards or Union officials shall be permitted to have time off without loss of pay for the investigation and processing of grievances and arbitrations. Requests for such time off shall be made in advance and shall not be unreasonably denied. The Union will furnish the Employer with a list of Union stewards and their jurisdictions. The Union shall delineate the jurisdiction of Union stewards so that no ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ need travel between work locations or sub-divisions thereof while investigating grievances. Grievants shall be permitted to have time off without loss of pay for processing their grievances through the contractual grievance procedure, except that for class action grievances no more than three (3) grievants shall be granted such leave.
