UNION
COMMENTS/OPINION: What this company proposal says is if there is any
type of litigation arising from a grievance procedure, if it takes longer than 6
months to get to a hearing then the company will not be liable. It seems to also
be attempting to limit any other type of hearing, possibly Federal suits, to a
liability term limit of 6 months as well.
