Accelerated Grievance Procedure Posting and Filling of Vacancies.

1. The parties agree to accelerate the normal grievance procedure for grievances that arise under this Article as follows:

   Step I.

   When a potential grievance arises concerning the qualifications of an employee for a position or the selection of the successful applicant for a position, the Union representative will inform the Human Resources Department of the potential grievance within three (3) working days of that notification. The University will, within two (2) working days, schedule a meeting which will include a representative from the Human Resources Department, the appropriate University supervisor, if applicable, the employee, and the Union's District Representative under whose jurisdiction the potential grievance falls, to discuss the potential grievance and attempt to reach a resolution.

   Step II.

   If the potential grievance is not resolved at the Step I meeting, the Union will reduce such grievance to a formal written grievance within two (2) working days and submit it to the Human Resources Department. The written grievance will be a subject of discussion at the Step III meeting in accordance with the grievance procedures as outlined in Article VII.

2. All provisions of Article VII following Step III remain in effect under this accelerated procedure.
