Negotiated Grievance Procedure. Section 1. The Parties agree that this Article establishes the sole and exclusive procedure available to bargaining unit employees and the Parties for processing and settlement of grievances that fall within its coverage, including questions of grievability and arbitrability. The Parties recognize and endorse the importance of bringing to light and resolving grievances in a prompt manner. The Parties agree that the expeditious resolution of grievances is in the public interest. Inasmuch as dissatisfactions and disagreements arise occasionally among people in any work situation, the filing of a grievance shall not be construed as reflecting unfavorably on an employee’s good standing, performance, loyalty, or desirability.
