Collective barganing agreements include procedures of how the grievances will be resolved. The procedure will be by involving the employee, the union members and the management team concerned. There are forms for filling the grievances by the employees and they are given to the immediate supervisor by the employee. He will then analyze the grievance along with the union representative to decide its genuinity. The grievance can come to three types of results.
