Grievances
A grievance is a dispute concerning the interpretation or application
of a specific term or provision of the Collective
Bargaining Agreement. Pending formal ratification, the Collective Bargaining
Agreement means the provisions that are in the "Tentative Agreements" referenced
in the Memorandum of Agreement dated May 2, 2008 and included on
the "Tentative Agreements" webpage and other
provisions in the 2001-2003 Collective Bargaining
Agreement on which negotiations have not yet been completed.
Grievances may involve all aspects of your employment: assignment, evaluation,
merit pay, treatment by your chair and dean, actual or threatened disciplinary
actions, academic freedom, discrimination, etc.
A grievance must be filed on Appendix C.
A UFF grievance representative will help you file this form correctly.
The terms and provisions of the Contract are enforced by the Grievance
Procedure. Article 20 of the Contract spells out the process.
If you think you have a grievance you should contact Dr.
