Labor relations personnel should be aware of the language in the Preamble as several grievances filed during prior contracts have included failure to adhere to the Preamble as an alleged violation of the contract. Reference to the Preamble may indicate lack of evidence of a more specific violation, or may be an attempt to bring a non-grievable issue, such as an oral or written reprimand, to arbitration. Other articles and sections cited will be the principal basis for answering the grievance and should be listed on the grievance data forms, with reference to the Preamble as a secondary issue. |
