or terms and conditions of employment as per Florida state
Statutes.
4.2 Every effort will be made by the parties to settle any
grievance as expeditiously as possible. Failure to observe the
prescribed time limits by either party shall amount to an abandon-
ment of its position and resolution of the grievance in favor of
the other party. Any decision not appealed or any grievance
settled, other than one settled through binding arbitration shall
not constitute a procedure for the interpretation of this contract
nor shall it be used as a basis for future decision. Grievances
shall be presented in the following manner and every effort shall
be made by the parties to secure the prompt disposition of such
grievance:
Stop i All grievances by members of the union will be
processed through a grievance board comprised of
a President, Vice President, secretary and Treasurer
to alleviate unnecessary grievances. One signature
of a member of the grievance board will be required
prior to submitting the grievance. A union official
may accompany an employee through each step of the
grievance procedure. The employee shall first take
up his/her grievance with his/her immediate super-
visor within five (5) administrative working days of
the occurrence of the event(s) which gave rise to
the grievance. For the purposes of this Article,
administrative working days shall mean Monday
through Friday. Such a contact between the employee
and his/her immediate supervisor shall be on an in-
formal and oral basis.
Stop f Any grievance which cannot be satisfactorily
settled with the immediate supervisor shall be
reduced to writing by the employee and shall neat
be taken up with the Fire Chief. Such grievance
shall be presented to the Chief in writing within
five (5) administrative working days of the dead-
line date for completion of step 1. The Fire Chief
shall, within five (5) administrative working days
after presentation of the grievance (or such longer
period of time is as mutually agreed upon), render
his/her decision in writing with a copy to the
Union.
Stop 9 In the event the employee is not satisfied with the
disposition of the grievance in step 1, he/she shall
have the right to appeal the Fire Chief's decision
to the City Manager or his/her designee within five
(5) administrative working days of the date of the
issuance of the Fire Chiefs decision. Such appeal

signed by the employee, or at the employee's option,
the representative of the union, requesting that the
Fire Chief's decision be reversed.

to a number of employees rather than a single employee or if the
grievance is directly between the local union and the department

within ten (10) administrative working days, the parties shall
jointly request the Federal Mediation and Conciliation service or

persons resident in Florida from which each party shall have the
option of alternatively striking names thus leaving the seventh (7)

arbitrator within five (5) administrative working days after the
receipt of the panel from the Federal Mediation and Conciliation

mutually agree in writing as to the statement of the grievance to
be arbitrated prior to the arbitration hearing and the arbitrator,
thereafter, shall confine his decision to the particular grievance
thus specified. In the event the parties fail to agree upon the
statement of the grievance to be submitted to the arbitrator, the
arbitrator will confine its consideration and determination to the
written statement of the grievance presented in step 2 of the
Grievance Procedure.

add to, subtract from or otherwise alter or supplement this
contract or any part thereof or amendment thereto. The arbitrator

binding.
