representatives selected by the Union and certified in writing to the Employer. The Employer shall

Section 1 The Employer and the Union support and subscribe to an orderly method of
adjusting employee grievances. To this end, the Employer and the Union agree that an employee should
first bring his problem or grievance to the attention of his immediate supervisor, with or without his
steward, and an attempt will be made to resolve the grievance informally. In the event the steward is
called he shall be released from his duties as soon as possible and in any event no later than the
beginning of his shift the next day and the supervisor, the employee and the steward shall meet
simultaneously in an attempt to resolve the matter. Dismissals, suspensions, demotions and disciplinary
actions of any type shall not be a subject for the grievance procedure but shall be processed accord-
ing to the procedures of the Personnel Appeal Board.
Step 1 If the grievance is not settled informally between the employee and his immediate
supervisor, the employee shall have the right to discuss the grievance with his steward. If, in the
steward's opinion, proper cause for the complaint exists, the Union shall have the right to submit a
written grievance on the complaint to the immediate supervisor within five days. The written grievance
must be signed by the employee and his steward and receipt acknowledged by the employee's immediate
supervisor.
Step 2 The department will give its written reply within five days (excluding Saturday,
Sunday and holidays) of receipt of the written grievance.
Step 3 A grievance not settled at Step 2 may be submitted to the Grievance Committee
within five days of the date of the receipt of the written reply. Any grievance not submitted to the
Grievance Committee by written notification to the Employer within five days shall be considered
dropped. A meeting on the grievance shall be held by the Grievance Committee within ten days unless
the time is extended by mutual agreement of both parties.
Step4 Any matter not settled in Step 3 of the grievance procedure may be submitted to
final and binding arbitration by either of the parties.
If the parties fail to select an arbitrator, one will be selected under the rules
of the American Arbitration Association.
The Arbitrator shall have no power or authority to add to, subtract from, alter
or modify the terms of this agreement, or set a wage rate.
Section 2 The time limits specified herein for movement of grievances through the
process shall be strictly adhered to. In the event that a grievance is not appealed within the
particular specified time limit, it shall be deemed to be settled on the basis of the Employer's last
answer. In the event that the Employer shall fail to supply the Union with its answer to the particular
step within the specified time limits, the grievance shall be deemed automatically positioned for appeal
at the next step with the time limit for exercising said appeal commencing with the expiration of the
grace period for answering.
Section 3 All specified time limits herein shall consist only of County work days Monday
through Friday.
Section 4 Each grievance shall have to be initiated within five (5) days of each
occurrence of the cause for complaint or, if neither the aggrieved nor the Union had knowledge of said
