Practice question
An unresolved grievance concerns the interpretation of a company personnel policy within the applicable grievance machinery. A party says voluntary arbitration covers only CBA text, never personnel policies. Is that correct?
- Yes; personnel policies are expressly excluded.
- Yes; only wage amounts may be arbitrated.
- No; the law and RuleIII expressly include unresolved personnel-policy grievances.
- Yes; all personnel policies are immune from review.
- No; because every personnel policy is automatically void.
