LOCAL GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE Sample Clauses
The Local Grievance Procedure clause establishes a formal process for addressing and resolving complaints or disputes that arise at a specific location or within a particular organization. Typically, it outlines the steps that employees or members must follow to submit a grievance, such as notifying a supervisor, submitting written documentation, and participating in meetings or hearings. This clause ensures that concerns are handled systematically and fairly at the local level, providing a clear mechanism for conflict resolution and helping to prevent escalation of issues.
