need help and information???????????

[bobcat]

I have exhausted all grievance proceedings at my employment. I was charged and found guilty for something I did not do. Yet after explaining my complaint in a form of a grievance, I have been subjected to having to file future grievances to be cleared of a egreious error placed upon me. In my first grievance, the responder to the first grievance lied to have the charge upheld. I filed a second grievance and showed what my involvement in this matter was, yet grievance was denied. I file a third grievance and showed my rights as an employee for grievance procedures had been violated and further showed that my involvement in the incident for the disturbance that was cause was by another person I was working with and not me. Yet, my grievance was still denied and but no action to answer my grievance complaints in this whole matter(including grievance violation) were ever answered. I have been at wits end on trying to take this matter to someone that will listen, to lead me in the direction to clear me of this charge. Can someone out there, help me and lead me in the right direction. More definitive information can be provided if needed.

Sounds like you are a union employee so my answer will be based upon that assumption. Obviously I am answering somewhat in the blind since I can not view your union book at present. Anyway, your union handbook should provide you with the procedure you are to use to file an appeal to the grievances that you wrote about. There are strict time deadlines in which to file such appeals with your union steward, so don't delay. If the appeals are denied, your handbook should inform you that you have the right to go through arbitration at this point. Now if you get to this point, and your union informs you that they do not intend to arbitrate the matter, then you are free to bring a civil law suit against the union and or the employer. Normally such suits are in federal court. So my advice to you is for you to immediately consult with a labor lawyer (also known as employment law attorneys) who only represents union employees, or at least most of his practice is devoted to union employees. You can find such an attorney near you by looking at attorneypages.com
