This Form documents the contract violation. This is where you provide the details of your case. Your signature on the form gives CWA the authority to view your records on your behalf. It ensures that we can contact you and your managers. It also specifies the grievance you are filing, the remedy you are seeking and the job steward you want to handle your grievance. The more information you provide means we can start processing your grievance sooner instead of researching who you report to.
