When does a first step grievance have to be filed? Many UE contracts have language that says the union must file a grievance as soon as it knows a grievance exists. Some contracts put time limits on the first step, “The union must file a grievance within 10 days of knowing that a grievance existed.” Of course there are contracts that have no time limit on when the first step can be filed.

A strike is always our last resort. As UE members we know that there are hundreds of ways to put pressure on an employer to settle a good contract. But the strike — or the threat of one — remains the single most powerful inducement to force employers to deal with the demands of workers. Remember - only your local membership can decide to strike - not UE Officers, staff or workers from other locals or shops.
