Notwithstanding the time limits contained in Article 9.03 Step Two, the Parties will meet in attempt to resolve the grievance within five (5) working days of said grievance being filed at Step Two. 10.02 It is understood that an employee has the right to Union representation by a shop ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or other Union Officer when discipline is given.
