Where do I start?

Step 2: Investigation Information
Whenever there is discipline involved it is essential for the steward to take as accurate notes as possible. This form will help you make sure you ask the right questions and get the right information. Print this form off before sitting down with management and take notes during your meeting.

Step 3: Grievance Form
So here you are, you have done your investigation and you have determined that a grievance is necessary. By clicking the button on the left you can either prefill the form and print or just print the form off and fill it out manually.
