Q. Show Nature of the grievances?
Nature of the grievances: a grievance is a problem and submitted by an employee or several employees of different types. It may be concerning a situation or likely to affect the terms and conditions of employment or if trade union submits a problem as a general claim it fails outside the scope of grievance procedure and generally comes under the purview of collective bargaining. Thus, if an issue is wider in the scope or general in the nature it will be outside, the grievance machinery. For example, if majority of employees or the trade union in an organization demand wage revision, such issue does not come under the scope of grievance machinery and falls within the scope of collective bargaining. In contract, if the workers award given by wage borders and if they ask the management to correct the wage inequity such issue falls within the scope of grievance machinery. Thus, a grievance:
1. He has a narrower perspective.
2. Is concerned with the interpretation of a correct or award as concerned to an individual or a few employees of different types.
As such policy issues do not fall within the scope of grievance machinery.
