Grievances. SECTION 1 For the purposes of this Agreement, a grievance shall be defined as: Any complaint by a teacher covered by this Agreement that:
(1) the teacher has been subject to a violation, inequitable application, or misinterpretation of a specific provision of this Agreement, or
(2) the teacher has been subjected to an unfair or discriminatory act contrary to established policy and practice.
SECTION 2 The purpose of this procedure is to secure, at the lowest possible administrative level, equitable solutions to the problems which may from time to time arise affecting the welfare or working conditions of teachers. Both parties agree that these proceedings will be kept as informal and confidential as may be appropriate at any level of this procedure.
SECTION 3 Nothing herein contained will be construed as limiting the right of any teacher having a grievance to discuss the matter informally with an appropriate member of the administration and to have the grievance adjusted without intervention of the Association, provided the adjustment is not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and that the Association has been given the opportunity to be present at such adjustment above level one and to state its views. If the teacher so chooses, a representative of the Association may be present at level one. The grievant may not elect to have anyone other than the exclusive bargaining representative present or to represent him/her during the grievance/arbitration procedure without the express written consent of the Association. The Association must be notified of the outcome of any level one grievance at which an Association representative is not present.
SECTION 4 No written communication, other document, or record relating to any grievance shall be filed in the personnel file maintained by the School Department of the Town of Needham for any teacher involved in presenting such grievance.

For grievances and arbitration time limits, "days" shall be defined as days within the work year for teachers when students are in scheduled classes, including part-days and exam days. The time limits specified may be extended only by mutual agreement. It is understood and agreed that no grievance, dispute, misunderstanding, or difference between the parties arisi...

Step 1Any employee who believes that he/she has a justifiable complaint involving the scheduling of his/her vacation shall discuss his/her complaint with his/her department manager, with or without the Union representative for his/her plant area being present as the employee may elect, in an attempt to settle same. However, any such employee may, instead, if he/she so desires, report the matter directly to his/her Union representative for his/her plant area. In such event, such Union representative, if he/she believes the complaint merits discussion, shall take it up with the employee’s department manager in a sincere effort to resolve the problem. The provisions of Article 6, Section 3 shall apply if the employee’s department manager and the area Union representative in the oral step, after full discussion, feel the need for aid in arriving at a solution. At the conclusion of such discussion, the employee’s department manager and the area Union representative, or their designated representatives, shall promptly complete and sign the Step 2 oral disposition form to be furnished by the Company.
