Article 5 Section 1 of the Central Region Supplement:
"It shal be the responsibility of the employee to reduce the grievance to writing on the regular grievance form provided by the union and have it submitted to the company within five(5) working days."
I don't see the relevance of your quote.
The Central Suplement doesn't apply to 43rd St.
Where does your quote contradict either of the statements I made to Hoaxter?
Here's a slightly fuller version of the recently weakend Central States grievance language . . .
ARTICLE 5-GRIEVANCES
Section 1
A grievance is hereby jointly defined to be any controversy, complaint, misunderstanding, or dispute arising as to interpretation, application or observance of any of the provisions of this Agreement or any Supplement, Rider or Addendum hereto.
Grievance procedures may be invoked only by authorized Union or Employer representatives.
In the event of any grievance, complaint, or dispute on the part of any employee, it shall be handled in the following manner, and a decision reached at any stage shall be final and binding on both parties.
The grievance shall be discussed with the employee’s immediate supervisor or with the aggrieved employee and his/her shop steward. If the grievance is not resolved within one (1) working day;
It shall be the responsibility of the employee to reduce the grievance to writing on the regular grievance form provided by the union and have it submitted to the company within five (5) working days.
