How do I file a grievance?
Generally, if you feel that management has violated the terms of your collective bargaining agreement, you should talk to your steward who will determine if there is indeed a contract violation.
The steward will first try to help you resolve the issue informally. This may include speaking with your supervisor. If the steward has determined that there is a violation of the contract but is unable to resolve the issue, then he or she will write up a grievance and submit it to management. As part of the shop stewards investigation he/she will need some very important information from you such as:

If the steward has determined that there is a violation of the contract but is unable to resolve the issue, then he or she will write up a grievance and submit it to management. As part of the shop stewards investigation he/she will need some very important information from you such as:
- Who is involved in the grievance (supervisor and members)?
- When did the grievance occur?
- Where did the grievance occur?
- What part of the contract was violated?
- What resolution is desired?
- For example, a contract may specify that overtime has to be distributed by seniority. If overtime is given to an employee with less seniority than others, the members with greater seniority may have a grievance.
- Please Note: There are time limits on when you can file a grievance, so make sure you file it within 24 hours of its occurrence using the online grievance form. For immediate assistance contact the LEOSU-VA Local 104 @ 703-272-4710 and a Union Representative will get back to you shortly.
Article 6; Grievance and Arbitration specifically Paragraph 6.2 Step 1;
“Except for grievances involving disciplinary suspension or discharge of an employee, an employee having a grievance under this Agreement shall discuss the grievance with the employee’s immediate supervisor not later than five (5) days after the known occurrence causing the complaint. The employee may be accompanied by a Union representative during the discussion, if the employee so request. “
It’s important to understand there are time limits in pursuing grievances and unless the steps aren’t specifically followed may cause your complaint to be voided. So if you have an issue please let a steward know quickly.
