Immediate Dispute Resolution. 6.19.1 When CDF FIREFIGHTERS believes that the employer may take an action which could result in a contract violation causing irreparable injury to a represented employee and a stay of that action cannot be accomplished through normal remedies in time to prevent irreparable injury, or where the cause of good employer-employee relations would be enhanced by proceeding under the more flexible (for both parties) provisions of this section, CDF FIREFIGHTERS, at the State level, may invoke the provisions of this section as follows: 6.19.1.1 Within 48 of Monday-through-Friday hours of becoming aware of an action or planned action CDF FIREFIGHTERS may contact the Department Labor Relations Officer with specific information regarding the contract violation. The Labor Relations Officer and CDF FIREFIGHTERS will jointly determine the appropriate management level at which to begin discussions. 6.19.1.2 After a determination is made, CDF FIREFIGHTERS will commence informal discussions at the designated level within 24 of Monday through Friday hours. 6.19.1.3 The Labor Relations Officer may also participate in the informal discussions at any level. 6.19.1.4 If mutual resolution is not achieved at the initial organizational level, CDF FIREFIGHTERS may request informal talks with the next administrative level, up to and including the Labor Relations Officer himself/herself. 6.19.1.5 CDF FIREFIGHTERS shall advise the Labor Relations Officer of the outcome of the discussions, should the matter be resolved below his/her level. 6.19.2 Time limits of the grievance procedure shall be stayed for up to seven calendar days when this section is invoked unless extended by mutual agreement. 6.19.3 This procedure is an informal alternative to CDF FIREFIGHTERS invoking the "immediate arbitration" procedure. If this procedure fails to resolve the dispute, CDF FIREFIGHTERS may then invoke other normal steps of the grievance procedure, including "immediate arbitration." 6.19.4 The parties agree that the intent of this procedure is to encourage timely communication between the parties at the appropriate level and to clear up misunderstandings that may seriously affect employees and/or relations between the parties. 6.19.5 Time limits are the only portion of this section subject to the grievance and arbitration procedure.
