Policy Grievance Bargaining Unit or Board Initiated Clause Samples

The Policy Grievance clause establishes a formal process for addressing disputes or concerns that affect the entire bargaining unit or arise from actions or policies of the Board, rather than individual grievances. This clause allows either the union representing the bargaining unit or the Board itself to initiate a grievance when a policy or collective agreement interpretation is in question. By providing a structured mechanism for resolving broad or systemic issues, the clause ensures that significant concerns impacting multiple employees or the overall employment relationship can be addressed efficiently and fairly, thereby promoting workplace harmony and clarity in the application of collective agreements.
