A quick definition of grievance:

A grievance is when an employee or group of employees make a formal complaint about something they think is wrong at work. This could be about things like how much they get paid, how they are treated by their boss or colleagues, or the conditions they work in. There are rules and methods for dealing with grievances, which are usually written down in a contract between the workers and their employer. The aim of these rules is to help solve problems and make sure everyone is treated fairly.

A more thorough explanation:

Grievances are formal complaints made by an employee or group of employees about a violation of workplace contract terms or labor policy. These complaints can be related to issues such as working conditions, pay, benefits, or treatment by supervisors or colleagues.

For example, if an employee feels that they are not being paid fairly for their work, they may file a grievance with their employer. Or, if an employee feels that they are being harassed by a supervisor, they may file a grievance about the treatment they are receiving.

The grievance procedure is a set of rules and methods for documenting, presenting, and resolving disputes in the workplace. This procedure is usually defined in the contract between the union and management, and may involve steps such as negotiation, mediation, or arbitration.

In unionized workplaces, there is usually a strict procedure for filing grievances, which is tracked by the labor union and a grievance representative. In non-union workplaces, there may also be formal grievance procedures in place.

The purpose of grievance procedures is to help management identify problems within the organization and provide employees with a communication channel to management, while also avoiding adversarial relationships between management and employees. Grievance procedures are also governed by case law, including landmark court case Alexander v. Gardner-Denver Co. (1974), which established that employers have a duty to provide employees with a fair and effective grievance procedure.

Gregg v. Georgia (1976) | Griggs v. Duke Power Co. (1971)

@babycat: If the person I am mentoring decides to listen to my advice instead of just discussing my advice I will pay you to tutor her. You seem like a smart, good and well put together person that she can probably learn well from.
