4.0 GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
In a mutual effort to provide a harmonious working relationship
b etw een the parties to this Agreement, it is further agreed and understood
by the parties that there shall be a procedure for the resolution of
grievances involving the application or interpretation of this Agreement
and grievances involving discharge, suspension, demotion or any other
adverse personnel action against a member covered by this Agreement .
Every effort will be made by the parties to settle any
grievance as expeditiously as possible. Failure to cb serve the prescribed
time limits by either party shall amount to an abandonment of its position
and a 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 Agreement nor shall it be used as a basis for future
decisions.
Orievances shall be presented in the follav ing manner and every
effort shall be made by the parties to secure the prompt disposition of
such grievances:
Step 1. The member shall first take up his grievance with his
immediate supervisor within five (5) days of the occurrence of the event(s)
which gave rise to the grievance. Such contact between the menb er and his
immediate supervisor shall be on an informal and oral basis.
Step 2. Any grievance which cannot be satisfactorily settled
with the immediate supervisor shall be reduced to writing by the memb er
and shall next be taken up with the Fire Chief. Such grievance shall be
presented to the Chief in writing within five (5) days of the deadline
date for completion of Step 1. The Fire Chief shall, within five (5)
days after presentation of the grievance (or such longer period of time
as is mutually agreed upon), render his decision on the grievance in
writing with a copy to the Union.
Step 3. In the event a memmb er is not satisfied with the
disposition of the grievance in Step 2, he shall have the right to appeal
the Fire Chiefs decision to the City Tanager or his designee within
five (5) days of the date of the issuance of. the Fire Chief's decision.
Such appeal must be accomplished by the filing of a copy of the original
written grievance together with a letter signed by the member, or at
the member's option, the Representative of the local Union, requesting
that the Fire Chief's decision be reversed. The City Manager shall
within ten (10) days of the filing of the appeal (or some longer period
of time as is mutually agreed upon) render his decision in writing with
a copy to the Union.
When a grievance is general in nature in that it applies to a
number of members rather than a single member or if the grievance is
directly between the local Union and the Department or the City, such
grievance shall be presented in writing directly to the Fire Chief within
the time limits provided for submission of a grievance in Step 1. The
grievance shall be signed by the aggrieved merrbers or the Representative
of the local Union. Thereafter, the grievance shall be processed in
accordance with the procedures in Steps 2 and 3.
The parties desire to give this Collective Bargaining Agreement
the maximum force and effect and. do hereby agree that this grievance
procedure shall be the sole and exclusive method of resolving any dispute
concerning interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. In the event
the grievance procedure is utilized to pursue a grievance over discharge,
suspension or dermtion, the arbitration procedure set forth in the
Arbitration Article shall also apply if invoked.
ARTICLE 5
5.0 ARBITRATION
In the event a grievance processed through the grievance
procedure set forth in Article 4 has not been resolved, the grievant
may submit the grievance to a Board of Arbitration within fifteen (15)
days after the City Abnager or his designee renders a written decision
_on the grievance. The Board of Arbitration shall be corrprised of one (1)
representative of the City, one (1) representative of the local Union
and a third impartial person selected by the parties to the Agreement.
In the event the parties are unable to agree upon said third (impartial)
person within ten (10) days, the parties shall jointly request the Federal
Mediation and Conciliation Service and/or American Arbitration Association
to furnish a panel of seven (7) names frcm which each party shall have the
option of alternately striking names thus leaving the seventh (7th) which
will give a neutral or impartial arbitrator.
The City and the merrber (or the local union) shall mutually agree
in writing as to the statement of the grievance to be arbitrated prior to
the arbitration hearing and the Board of Arbitration, therefore, shall
confine its 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 Board of Arbitration, the Board of Arbitration will confine
its consideration and determination to the written statement of the grievance
presented in Step 2, of the Grievance Procedure.
The Board of Arbitration shall have no authority to change, amend,
add to, subtract from, or otherwise alter or supplement this Agreement or any
part thereof or amendment thereto. The Board of Arbitration shall have no
authority to rule upon any matter which is stated in this Agreement not to
be subject to arbitration or which is not a grievance as defined in this
Agreement; nor shall this Collective Bargaining Agreement be construed by
the Board of Arbitration to supersede applicable laws in existence at the
time of signing of this Agreement, except to the extent as specifically
provided herein.
Each party shall bear the expense of its own witnesses and of its
own representatives. The impartial arbitrator's fee and related expenses
and expense of obtaining a hearing room, if any, shall be equally divided
between the parties. Any party desiring a transcript of the hearing shall
bear the cost of such transcript unless both parties mutually agree to
share the cost.
The parties shall make their choioe of the impartial arbitrator
within five (5) days after the receipt of the panel from the Federal
%diation and Conciliation Service and/or the American Arbitration
Association. Copies of the Board of Arbitration's award made in accordance
-with the jurisdiction and authority under this Agreement shall be furnished
to both parties within thirty (30) days of the closing of the Arbitration
Hearing. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding.

application to the resolution of disputes between parties concerning the
terms of a new collective bargaining agreement to replaoe this Agreement.
