A grievance is a formal complaint made by an employee or the union when they believe that the employer has violated the terms of the collective agreement, workplace policy, or labor law. You would need to fill out a grievance form if you experience issues such as unfair treatment, improper pay, or violations of your rights as outlined in the collective agreement. The form is used to document the issue and begin the process of resolving it through union representation.
