union grievance
Formal workplace complaint
A union grievance is a formal complaint filed by a union member or the union itself alleging that an employer has violated the terms of a collective bargaining agreement.
The grievance process typically involves escalating steps—from discussion with a supervisor to written complaints to arbitration: She filed a union grievance after being denied overtime pay.
The procedure protects workers by creating a structured path for resolving disputes without immediate legal action.
