When workplace disputes arise, the 1199 Grievance Form serves as a critical tool for employees seeking to address and resolve issues. This document is specifically designed for use within the framework of the CSU/SEIU District 1199, facilitating a formal procedure to voice and rectify grievances. It outlines a multi-step process that begins with an informal resolution attempt, escalating through written grievances, appeals to higher HRD levels, and potentially leading to arbitration or mediation. Employees must fill out detailed information about their employment, the nature of the grievance—including contract violations, university policies, or laws—and propose a desired remedy. The form also underscores the importance of timeliness, with specific deadlines for each step to ensure a swift resolution. Moreover, it emphasizes the collaborative aspect of the grievance procedure, allowing for the involvement of union representatives alongside the aggrieved employee, to advocate and navigate through the complex process. This structured approach not only provides a clear pathway for employees to seek justice but also underscores the value of orderly and systematic dispute resolution within organizational settings.
