ARTICLE 3GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
A. Definition
Grievance
A "grievance" is a claim by an Association member or the Association based upon the interpretation, application or violation of this Agreement, policies or administrative decisions affecting an Association member's or a group of Association member's terms and conditions of employment. The term "grievance" shall not include the following:
Any matter for which a method of review is provided for or is cognizable by law or by any rule or regulation of the State Commissioner of Education or State Board of Education.
Any matter for which a method of review is provided for or is cognizable by the Public Employment Relations Commission.
Matters which according to law are beyond the scope of Board authority.
Any rule or regulation dealing with managerial prerogative of the Union County Vocational-Technical Schools Board of Education or the State Commissioner of Education.
Any matter the determination of which would require an act by the Board of Education which it is without legal authority to do.
A complaint of a non-tenure employee which arises by reason of his/her not being re-employed. N.J.S.A. 18A:27-10 et seq.
A complaint by an employee occasioned by appointment to or lack of appointment to, retention in or lack of retention in, any position for which tenure is either not possible or not required.
Any matter for which review by arbitration is prohibited by law.
2. Aggrieved Person
An "aggrieved person" is the member or members of the Association making the claim.
3. Party In Interest
A "party in interest" is the Association member or members making the claims and any Association member including the claimant and any person including the Association or the Board, who might be required to take action or against whom action might be taken in order to resolve the claim.
B. Purpose
The purpose of the procedure is to secure, at the lowest possible level, solutions to grievances as defined above. Both parties agree that these proceedings will be kept as confidential as may be-appropriate at any level of the procedure.
C. Procedure
1 . Time Limits
The number of days indicated at each level should be considered as a maximum and every effort should be made to expedite the process. The time limits specified may, however, be extended by mutual written agreement.
2. Year-End Grievances
In the event a grievance is filed at such time that it cannot be processed through all the steps in this grievance procedure by the end of the school year and if left unresolved until the beginning of the following school year could result in irreparable harm to a party in interest, the time limits set forth herein shall be reduced so that the grievance procedure may be exhausted prior to the end of the school year or as soon thereafter as is practicable as agreed by both parties.
3. Level One: Immediate Supervisor, Informal Level
A grievance to be considered under this procedure must be initiated by the grievant within fifteen (15) calendar days of its occurrence or within fifteen (15) calendar days after the grievant would be expected to know of its occurrence. In the event that the fifteen (15) calendar day period runs past the close of the school year, then the time for filing of the grievance shall be based on two (2) business days for each school day until the fifteen (15) calendar days are reached. An Association member with a grievance shall first discuss it with his/her immediate supervisor, either directly or through the Association representative; participating in such discussions and proceedings shall also be on his/her own time. Excepted from the operation of the foregoing provision concerning "own time" are those instances in which an Association member is requested by an authorized administrator to be present. In the event that the member's immediate supervisor is the Superintendent, this step shall be omitted.
4. Level Two: Superintendent
If the aggrieved person is not satisfied with the disposition of his/her grievance at Level One, or if no decision is reached within six (6) school days after the grievance was referred to the member's immediate supervisor, then within ten (10) days the grievance shall be referred to the
Superintendent. A decision shall be rendered by the Superintendent within fifteen (15) school days after its presentation.
5. Level Three- Advisory Arbitration
a. If the aggrieved person is not satisfied with the disposition of his/her
grievance at Level Two, or if no decision has been rendered within
fifteen (15) school days after the grievance was delivered to the
Superintendent, he/she may, within five (5) school days after a
decision by the Superintendent or fifteen (15) school days after the
grievance was delivered to the Superintendent, whichever is
sooner, request in writing that the Association submit the grievance
to arbitration. If the Association determines that the grievance is
meritorious, it may submit the grievance to arbitration within fifteen
(15) school days after receipt of the request by the aggrieved
person.
b. Within ten (10) school days after such written notice of submission
to arbitration, the Board and Association shall attempt to agree
upon a mutually acceptable arbitrator and shall obtain commitment
from said arbitrator to serve. If the parties are unable to agree upon
an arbitrator or to obtain such a commitment within the specified
period, a request for a list of arbitrators may be made to the
American Arbitration Association by either party. The parties shall
then be bound by the rules and procedures of the American
Arbitration Association.
c. The arbitrator's decision shall be in writing and shall be submitted
to the Board and the Association and shall be advisory to the
parties, except that if the Board rejects two (2) arbitration decisions
arising out of grievances occurring during a single contract year, all
subsequent decisions arising during the same contract year shall
be binding upon both parties.
d. In the event that arbitrability of a grievance is at issue between the
parties, jurisdiction to resolve the issue shall rest solely with the
arbitrator selected in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.c
of this Article.
e. The cost for services of the arbitrator including per diem expenses,
if any, and actual and necessary travel, subsistence expenses and
the cost of the hearing room shall be borne equally by the Board
and the Association. Any other expenses incurred shall be paid by the
party incurring same.
D. Rights of Members to Representation
1 . Member and Association
Any aggrieved person may be represented at all stages of the grievance procedure by himself/herself, by legal counsel or at his/her option, by representative(s) selected or approved by the Association. When a member is not represented by the Association, the Association shall have the right to be present and to state its views at all stages of the grievance procedure.
2. Reprisals
No reprisals of any kind shall be taken by the Board or by any member of the administration against any party in interest, any representative, any member of the Association, or any other participant in the grievance procedure by reason of such participation.
E. Miscellaneous
1. Group Grievance
If, in the judgment of the Association, a grievance affects a group or class of Association members, the Association may submit such grievance in writing to the Superintendent directly and the processing of such grievance shall be commenced at Level Two.
2. Written Decisions
Decisions rendered at Level One which are unsatisfactory to the aggrieved persons and all decisions rendered at Level Two and Three of the grievance procedure shall be in writing setting forth the decision and the reasons therefore and shall be transmitted promptly to all parties in interest and to the Association.
3. Separate Grievance File
All documents, communications and records dealing with the processing of a grievance shall be filed in a separate grievance file and shall not be kept in the personnel file of any of the participants.
4. Meetings and Hearings
All meetings and hearings under this procedure shall not be conducted in public and shall include only such parties in interest and their designated or selected representatives, heretofore referred to in the Article.
5. Forms
Forms pertaining to the filing and processing of grievances shall be prepared by the Superintendent or his designee after consultation with the Association and shall be given appropriate distribution.
ARTICLE 4

A. Rights and Protection in Representation
The Board hereby agrees that every employee shall have the rights identified in Chapter 123, Public Laws 1974 (as amended).

C. Just Cause Provision
No Association member shall be disciplined or dismissed without just cause. Any such action asserted by the Board, or any agent or representative thereof, shall be subject to the grievance procedure herein set forth.
D. Hearings
Whenever any Association member is required to appear before any administrator or supervisor, Board or committee member, or a representative or agent thereof concerning any matter which said administrator, supervisor, or Board knows or should have known could adversely affect the continuation of that Association member's position or employment, or the salary or any increments pertaining thereto, then the Association member shall be given prior written notice of the reasons for such meeting or interview and shall be entitled to have representative(s) of the Association present to advise him/her and represent him/her during such meeting or interview. The Association member serving as Association representative will not be charged for work time taken to attend such meetings as long as the meeting was initiated by administration; if initiated by the Association then such meetings will be on the Association representatives’ own time.
