The Written Submission (Brief)<br />
In the quick arbitration procedure, both the Local Union and management must attach<br />
a written submission — called the "Brief".<br />
The brief is very important. It is the first and only statement of the Grievor's case to<br />
the Arbitrator. It speeds up the process by providing the Arbitrator with essential<br />
background in<strong>form</strong>ation prior to the hearing.<br />
The brief should contain the evidence and arguments developed and used in<br />
presenting the <strong>grievance</strong> to local management at Steps 1 and 2. It should also include<br />
any additional arguments or in<strong>form</strong>ation developed after the completion of Step 2.<br />
The brief must contain all the evidence, arguments and supporting documentation.<br />
Neither the Union nor the College can suddenly add new documents during the hearing<br />
(Article 18.4.3.4).<br />
Therefore, if the College adds any new evidence - object to the arbitrator<br />
that this is a violation of Article 18.4.3.4 and demand that the arbitrator rule<br />
on the objection before proceeding further.<br />
