AIMS & OBJECTIVES: To provide the employees an easy and readily accessible machinery for prompt disposal of their day to day Grievances.

DIFFERENT STAGES FOR REDRESSAL OF GRIEVANCES, PROVIDED FOR UNDER COMPANY’S GRIEVANCE REDRESSAL PROCEDURE:



FIRST STAGE (MINE/DEPARTMENT LEVEL): The aggrieved employee shall represent his grievance either in person or in writing to the Welfare Officer or any other Officer in the Dept, which should be acknowledged. A written reply should be sent to the worker under the signature of the Manager/HoD within 10 days.



SECOND STAGE (AREA LEVEL): If the employee is not satisfied, he may request the Manager/HoD to forward his Grievance to the Grievance Committee constituted at Area level which consists of –

Sonit:

Consider:

At the FIRST STAGE (MINE/DEPARTMENT LEVEL, I would recommend that:.

* Since the grievance was presented to the Welfare Officer, (s) he should be the one to investigate and respond to the employee within 10 (? working or calendar) days. If the Manager/HoD is involved, it may prejudice his position at the later stages.

* A complete investigation should be done at this time, including interviewing of witnesses and seeking relevant facts.

At the SECOND STAGE, I would recommend the addition of one more Union representative. In addition, a secret ballot as to the disposition of the grievance (“has merit“/ “does not have merit“) should be taken. When a majority is reached - 4 votes for either position - the counting will cease. This system precludes any pressure on the management or union to vote “for” or “against” the employee. The vote is not on the person, but the situation as represented by the facts.

THIRD STAGE (APPELLATE AUTHORITY – CORPORATE LEVEL): The employee can represent the matter to the Director (P,A&W) at Corporate level.

Who will be the employee’s advocate?

While these suggestions seems to encroach on Management’s right to run the business and direct the working forces, it also provides a level of good faith and fair dealing which I suspect will be appreciated by the employees.

Just my thoughts.
