Typically, this clause outlines the steps for escalating a grievance, such as moving from informal discussions to formal hearings or arbitration, and specifies that the decision reached at the final stage is binding on all parties. Its core practical function is to provide a clear, structured pathway for resolving conflicts, ensuring that all parties understand when and how a grievance is considered fully settled, thereby preventing ongoing disputes and promoting organizational stability.
