Grievance
In the world of work a grievance is a formal statement of complaint, generally against an authority figure. Procedures for grievance are common in unionized organizations. In many countries labor unions typically include a committee known as the Grievance Committee or Griefcom which deals with complaints of members against management.In an unionized organization, a grievance is a formal complaint against the employer, in written format, usually filed by a union steward on behalf of a member of the local union. It is typically understood as any difference arising out of the interpretation, application, administration or alleged violation of the collective bargaining agreement that is in effect at the place of employment but it can also concern violations of common law, such as workplace safety regulations or a human rights code.
