To File a Grievance:

2. Fax or E-mail it to the Local office (205-942-3431).

3.A steward should contact you within 24 hours. If not, contact the Local immediately 205-945-1979.

Grievances must be filed at the first level by a Local Job Steward with few exceptions. Terminations will be handled by the Departmental Vice President.

Remember, if you are called into a meeting it is your responsibility to ask for union representation. Ask, "Is there any possibilty that dicipline may occur, now or in the future, as a consequence of this meeting."  If the answer is yes, you are entitled to representation. Once you have asked for representation the company must stop the meeting until a union representative arrives.
