- Avoid detailed explanation
- Mention the collective agreement article and add “and any relevant article”
- Provide a clear and concise statement of the problem
- Begin corrective action with “Redress in full, including but not limited to…” or “To be made whole”
- When drafting the corrective action, consider when the final decision may be rendered

Sample Grievance Wording
- “I grieve the 15-day suspension received on May 15, 2013.”‘
- “That the suspension be rescinded; that I suffer no loss of pay and benefits for this period; that any and all documentation related to this suspension be removed from my personnel file and any other employer file and be destroyed in my presence and/or that of my Union representative; to be made whole.”
- “The employer is refusing to reimburse my mileage premium to and from my place of residence and workplace contrary to article XX or any other relevant article of my collective agreement. This violation occured on May 15, 2013.”
