en its grievance procedure, using
the steps already established fol
lowed by arbitration by a panel
of three, the findings of which
would be final.
Under the present policy a
grievance is presented to the em
ployees' immediate supervisor. If

is arranged with the person im
mediately above the supervisor.
'lf no solution is then reached
meetings are arranged with the
Dean of the Colleges and finally
the University comptroller.

mitted on University pronerty,
"but on the employees' own time."
The panel also recommended
that all policies it endorsed

In explaining the recommenda

Communicate Changes
That after the annual policy
meetings between the University
and employee organizations, the
University communicate an y
changes to employees organiza
tions before new policies are es
tablished.
That in the case of any dis
agreement, higher-level meetingsl
with top union officials and the
University should be held. and
that thereafter any new policy
would be affected by the Univer
sity Board of Trustees.
Arbitration Pars'
That the arbitration panel, sug
gested as part of the University's
grievance machinery, consist of
an employee representative, a
University representative, and one
chosen from a permanent "rotat
ing" group.
George Fink, president of Local
67 State, County, and Municpal
Employees (AFL), said last night
he was satisfied with the panel's
decision.
"The panel has answered some
of our questions and problems but
