What is a Grievance?

​

Article 6.1.A of the contract defines a grievance as "A formal grievance is defined as a written complaint alleging that there has been a violation, misinterpretation, or misapplication of a specific provision(s) of this Collective Bargaining Agreement (“Agreement”), excluding Section 6.2, 6.2A, and 6.2B. Matters not contained in this Agreement are not subject to this grievance process."

​

Before you can file a formal grievance, Article 6.3.A requires you to conduct an informal conference with you immediate supervisor in order to attempt to resolve the issue. You may be accompanied by a CFCE representative at this meeting and the meeting must occur within twenty (20) days (a day is defined in Article 6.1.E as a day during which the District Office is open for business) of when you knew or reasonably should have known of the act or omission giving rise to the grievance. If you wait too long, you may lose your right to file a grievance. Grievances might not be resolved overnight, but CFCE will assist you if there has been a clear violation of the contract.
