Click here to download a Grievance Form
What is a Grievance?
How Do I File a Grievance?
If you think you have a grievance, contact your union steward so they can work with you through the process.
Check the contract to determine key information such as which article has been violated and the timelines for filing.
Gather all the information:
The Workplace Investigation Form may be helpful for making your notes on the incident and being sure you've documented everything necessary. You can use this form to organize your information before you talk to your steward or organizer.
Be sure to contact your union steward and discuss your concerns. Keep in mind that there may be other ways to address your issue without filing a grievance. Your union steward can help you with ideas and advice about whether a grievance is the best option in your situation.
