Grievance Procedure Article Arbitration Sample Clauses

The Grievance Procedure Article Arbitration clause establishes a formal process for resolving disputes between parties, typically in a labor or employment context, by referring unresolved grievances to arbitration. This clause outlines the steps that must be followed before arbitration can occur, such as filing a grievance, attempting informal resolution, and escalating the issue through various levels of management or union representation. Ultimately, if the grievance remains unresolved, it is submitted to a neutral arbitrator whose decision is binding. The core function of this clause is to provide a structured, fair, and efficient method for settling disputes without resorting to litigation, thereby promoting workplace stability and clarity in conflict resolution.
