Once the negotiation process is completed and a contract is in effect, management and the union monitor the implementation and adherence to the contract agreements.
When a represented employee believes that he or she has been the subject of unfair treatment, there are several avenues available to the employee and the union to redress the grievance. Prepare a report that addresses the following:
- Explain the employee's rights under the NLRB.
- Explain the employer's and organization's rights under the NLRB.
- Describe a typical process for addressing grievances in a represented workforce.
- Explain the difference between arbitration and judicial resolution of disputes.
- When and how would the NLRB be involved in a dispute related to a potential violation of a labor agreement?
- Discuss how organizations monitor adherence to the bargaining agreement.
