8.05

The purpose of this Article is to provide the sole method for the settlement of a grievance alleging the violation of a specific provision of this Agreement. Such a grievance shall be presented and processed in accordance with the steps, time limits and conditions herein set forth.

It is the mutual desire of the parties that complaints of employees shall be adjusted as quickly as possible, and it is understood that an employee has no grievance until the employee first discusses the complaint with the responsible supervisor. The complaint must be discussed with the supervisor within five (5) days after the circumstances giving rise to it have occurred. Any complaint not presented within these five (5) days shall be forfeited by the aggrieved employee. The supervisor shall give his response verbally within two (2) days of receiving the employee's complaint.

STEP 1

If the complaint is not settled as provided for above, the employee may submit a written grievance to the supervisor within five (5) days of receiving the supervisor's verbal response to the complaint. The grievance shall be signed by the employee and shall ident~y the nature of the grievance, the specific provisions of the Agreement which are alleged to have been violated and the remedy sought. The supervisor will give a written response to the grievance within five (5) days following the day on which the grievance was presented by the employee. If the employee does not receive a decision within the time limits specified and the employee wishes to proceed with the grievance, he or she must submit the grievance at the next step.

STEP2

If the grievance is not settled, the employee must forward the grievance to the General Manager within five (5) days of the date of the supervisor's Step 1 response, or the date the supervisor's Step 1 response should have been provided. A meeting will then be held between the General Manager and the Business Representative of the Union or their designates. The employee and a Union Steward, if requested by the employee, may be present.

This meeting shall be held within seven (7) days of the receipt of the grievance at Step 2. The Employer's written answer to the grievance shall be given within five (5) days following the date of this meeting. In the· event that the Employer does not respond in the time provided and the Union wishes to proceed with the grievance, the Union must refer the matter to arbitration.

POLICY GRIEVANCE

A policy grievance shall be defined as a grievance, filed by either the Union or the Employer, involving a question of application or interpretation of any Article of this Agreement which arises directly between the Employer and the Union. It shall be submitted directly at Step 2 within fourteen (14) days following the circumstances giving rise to the grievance. The provisions of this section may not be used with respect to a grievance directly affecting an individual employee or a group of employees. The remaining provisions of Articles 8 and 9, with the required amendments, shall apply to policy grievances.

Any grievance which is not commenced or processed through the next stage of the grievance or arbitration procedure within the time specified shall be deemed to have been abandoned and/or withdrawn.

(a) A claim by an employee who has successfully completed the probationary period that he has been unjustly suspended or discharged shall be treated as a grievance if a written

statement of such grievance is submitted by the employee at Step 2 within five (5) days after the date of the suspension or discharge.

(b) At a meeting where an employee is issued discipline, the employee may request to have a Union Steward present, provided a Union Steward is available. If no Union Steward is available, the employee may request to have a co-worker present. The Employer shall advise the employee of this right.

If a party elects to refer a grievance to arbitration it must notify the other party within fourteen (14) days of the date of the response by the General Manager, at Step 2.

The parties shall agree on a sole arbitrator. In the event that the Union and the Employer cannot agree within fourteen (14) days, either party may apply to the Office of Arbitration for the appointment of an arbitrator.

During the probationary period, an employee shall be considered as being employed on a trial basis and may be dismissed for any reason at the sole discretion of the Employer. Any termination or release occurring during the probationary period shall be deemed to be for just cause, unless the Employer acts in bad faith or in a discriminatory manner.

An employee who accepts a transfer or promotion out of the bargaining unit shall retain any seniority acquired to the date of such appointment and will continue to accrue seniority for up to three {3) months. However, such seniority shall be lost and no further accrual will take place if the employee does not return to the bargaining unit within three {3) months from the date of such appointment.

(iii) third, lay-off full-time employees.

Subject to paragraph (b), a recall shall be in the reverse order of the above steps.

(b) In determining which employee(s) shall be laid off (or recalled) under each step in the above sequence, the primary considerations of the Employer shall be the requirements and efficiency of the operation and the employees' knowledge, skills, performance (including regular and timely attendance), qualifications, and ability to perform the required work. However, where the Employer considers employees relatively equal on the basis of the foregoing factors, seniority shall govern.

However, if employees possess the immediate skill and ability to perform work in another classification and such work is temporarily available, then the Employer shall offer such work by Hotel seniority to reduce the impact of the lay-offs.
