If you believe there has been a violation of your rights under the Collective Agreement and you are unable to resolve it with a supervisor, you have sixty (60) days (excluding weekends and statutory holidays) to file a grievance. (Art. 13.02) Grievances that are not filed within the above timelines run the risk of being dismissed by the Arbitrators. If you have concerns or questions about a timeline issue, please reach out to your Union Local for guidance.
Air Canada Rouge members who believe there has been a violation of their rights under the Collective Agreement can approach a supervisor in order to resolve the situation. If the employee fails to resolve the matter or chooses not to approach a supervisor directly, he or she may approach their Local Office who will enter in formal discussions with the Company on his or her behalf in order to attempt to resolve it. Once these discussions have taken place, and the matter remains unresolved, a grievance may be initiated by the Union. A grievance must be filed within 15 days of the last discussion with a management representative (L55.19.03.01). Grievances that are not filed within the above timelines run the risk of being dismissed by the Arbitrators. If you have concerns or questions about a timeline issue, please reach out to your Union Local for guidance.
