Practice question
A CBA provides a grievance committee but says that any unresolved submitted grievance will remain there indefinitely unless management voluntarily permits arbitration. A grievance remains unresolved beyond seven calendar days. Management relies solely on that veto. Which is best?
- The committee may hold every grievance forever
- The statute makes arbitration purely an employer favor
- The grievance automatically becomes baseless
- The employee must negotiate a new CBA before any referral
- The veto conflicts with the statutory automatic-referral framework for grievances not settled within the specified period
