How the Field Representative Can Help

Your Field Representative can assist with:

• Understanding contract language and provisions
  
  

• Clarifying employee rights, protections, and obligations
  
  

• Providing guidance on workplace and contract-related issues
  
  

• Assisting with grievances and workplace disputes
  
  

While any member has the right to file a grievance, it is considered best practice to work through the Field Representative. They are familiar with the required format, timelines, and procedures, and can help ensure grievances are properly filed and followed through each step of the process.

Why Work Through the Field Representative

Involving the Field Representative helps to:

• Avoid procedural errors or missed deadlines
  
  

• Ensure grievances are properly documented
  
  

• Monitor the grievance as it moves through the process
  
  

• Provide experienced guidance and advocacy
  
  

When to Reach Out

Members are encouraged to contact the Field Representative if they:

• Have questions about how the contract applies to their situation
  
  

• Are unsure whether an issue may lead to a grievance
  
  

• Need help understanding options or next steps
  
  

• Want assistance before a workplace issue escalates
  
  

You do not need to wait until a problem becomes serious. Reaching out early can often prevent misunderstandings and lead to better outcomes.
