National Pre-Arbitration Agreement: Article 15; Grievance-Arbitration Procedure (1983)

The question in this grievance is whether management violated the National Agreement by permitting a supervisor to be an observer at a grievance discussion between a local steward and an acting supervisor (204-B). It was mutually agreed to full settlement of this case as follows:
Either party may have an observer at a grievance discussion. Normally, it is expected that the parties will advise each other in advance of any intent to have an observer.
