STEP 1

The employee, who may be accompanied by his Shop Steward or Union Representative, shall present his grievance in writing to the Department Head. The grievance shall be signed by the employee, and shall set out the particulars of the grievance, the section(s) of the Agreement that the employee alleges has been violated, and the remedy sought.
