What Grievances Can Cover
-
A grievance is not a device for curing whatever ails you; your contract itself will have a definition of what is and is not covered by the grievance procedure. The most favorable definition of the scope of a grievance – though not the most common one – gives you the right to use the contract grievance procedure to challenge any area of concern connected to your workplace life.
More commonly, a grievance will be defined in a more narrow fashion, covering at most only challenges to specific provisions in the contract.
