Common use of Definitions and Provisions Clause in Contracts

Definitions and Provisions. A grievance is defined as a complaint by a faculty member or the Faculty Council of an alleged violation of a specific section of this Agreement. If any such grievance arises, there shall be no individual or concerted stoppages or suspensions of work because of such grievance, but such grievance shall be submitted under the following grievance and/or arbitration procedures. Grievances filed by the Faculty Council must be filed with the knowledge of the faculty member(s) involved. While the Faculty Council is the exclusive representative of all employees in the unit, any individual employee or a group of employees may at any time initiate grievances pursuant to this Article and then have them remedied without the intervention of the Faculty Council as long as the remedy is not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, provided that the Faculty Council has been given an opportunity to be present at any meeting to determine such remedy.
