Step 4 Settlement Agreement (NALC): Article 15; Grievance-Arbitration Procedure (1984)

The question in this grievance is whether management improperly authorized more than one representative to meet with the designated union steward at a Step 2 meeting. During our discussion, it was mutually agreed that the following would represent a full settlement of this case:
Both the union and the Employer have historically had persons other than the actual designated representatives attend Step 2 meetings as observers. However, such persons shall attend at the mutual consent of the parties designated to discuss the grievance.
