Any union member who believes they have a grievance and submits same in writing and such grievance is not processed by the Grievance Committee. OR any grievance which is terminated at any stage of the Grievance procedure without the consent of the grievor:

1. The grievor shall have the right to appeal such decision within ten (10)
   calendar days, in writing to the Local Executive Board from the time
   that they were notified of said decision by registered mail.
2. A special meeting shall be convened of the Appeal Committee where
   the grievor or designate may present their grievance. The griever or
   their designate must be a member in good standing of the local.
3. To ensure that a grievance is not lost due to time limits the
   chairperson/designate of the Grievance Committee or the
   President/delegate shall either initiate a grievance or secure an
   extension of the time limits until the appeal process has been settled.
4. In either step of the Appeal Procedure, the Grievance Committee or
   President will clarify its position as to why the grievance was denied
   or terminated. All grievances, whether processed or terminated, shall
   be reported to the general membership by the Grievance Committee.
5. After due process and consideration, the decision of the Appeal
   Committee shall be final and not subject to further appeal; and all

   handling of the grievance.
