For a complaint to be considered « timely », it must first be discussed (« filed ») at Stage 1 within 14 days of the employee or union becoming aware of the issue that can reasonably be expected to have been made aware. A complaint is defined in section 15 as « a dispute, difference, disagreement or complaint between the parties with respect to wages, hours of work and terms and conditions of employment. » This definition is very broad. You should never let a supervisor or job manager tell you that you « have no complaints. » If you have questions about whether or not you have a complaint, you should ask your immediate supervisor for « union time » to meet with a local steward. These are new, editable complaint forms. If there is a problem with these forms, please contact the publisher at Union Hall as soon as possible. If you think you have a complaint or are unsure whether or not you have a complaint, please contact your state or local union representatives. THE FORM ITSELF CAN BE SAVED, IT WILL BE A BLANK COPY. THESE FORMS ARE NOT STORABLE. JUST PRINT AND COPY.. .
