elected Union Steward. She has stated that workers should support the bargaining team by volunteering to be on the Contract Action Team (CAT) and the chapter’s strength at the bargaining table is the membership.

Contract Action Team (CAT)
O ne of the things you can do to help the Bargaining Team is volunteering to be on our Contract Ac�on
Team (CAT). Contract Ac�on Team members help the bargaining team communicate and coordinate
ac�ons to the rest of our members. Please contact Internal Organizer [email protected] and/or
call 650 801-3500 if you wish to par�cipate on the CAT.
The primary purposes of a grievance procedure are to: 1. Channel conflict into an institutionalized mechanism for peaceful resolution;
2. Facilitate communication between labor and management regarding problems that arise in a collective bargaining relationship;
3. Enable employees to complain with dignity knowing that there is a system of appeals leading to an impartial decision-maker; and
4. Enforce compliance with the terms and conditions negotiated by the parties.
If you have any questions please contact your Steward.
Knowledge is Not Power .... Using the Knowledge is The POWER!
