GRIEVANCES Without a union contract, employees can take complaints to management, but management has the final say on whether to make improvements or correct a problem. With a union contract, you now have grievance procedure in place to help resolve the issue. A grievance procedure is a method for solving employee complaints. It can also involve opposition to changes in the workplace, or a violation of the law. Your collective agreement outlines the complete grievance procedure and it's a shop steward's responsibility to provide guidance through the sometimes-complicated process. Before taking any action on your own, always contact a shop steward first. – 36 –
TRAINING AND EDUCATION There's more to life than work. And there's more to your union than helping you on the job. Local 37 is highly committed to offering members a diverse and valuable complement of training and education resources. After all, the best-trained and best-qualified employees are your employer's most valued assets. We're very proud of the Local 37 Training Trust Fund (TTF). The TTF gives members the chance to acquire skills that will help them both on the job and in their personal life. The focus is on leadership as well as the “soft skills” that involve personal development and interactions with other people. Training and learning opportunities are provided at no cost for eligible members through one-day workshops, an annual conference, and online courses. (continued on next page) – 37 –
