Not all workplace issues are grievances.
A grievance is a formal process under the Collective Agreement or applicable legislation. Before a grievance can be filed, a union representative must review the situation to determine whether a grievance is warranted and the best way to proceed.
What can be considered a grievance?
A grievance may exist when there is a clear violation of:
The Collective Agreement
Applicable legislation
Established past practice
Employee rights
This form is not the same as filing a grievance. Submitting this form allows a union representative to review your concern, assess whether it meets the criteria for a grievance, and discuss next steps with you. In some cases, another approach may be more effective.
To help us assess your concern, please provide as much detail as possible.
Important Information: Submitting this form does not mean a grievance has been filed. All submissions are reviewed by a union representative to determine whether the issue meets the criteria for a grievance and the most effective way to resolve it. A union representative will contact you to discuss next steps.
Already spoke to a representative or filed a grievance another way?
If you’ve already raised this issue directly with a union representative, you do not need to complete this form again.
For urgent matters, contacting Reception or your Union Representative directly may be the quickest option.
