A few sample grievances.

What happened
Joe Jones, an orderly at Manor Nursing Home, worked 45 hours last week but received only 40 hours pay.

How it was written up
"Joe Jones received only 40 hours pay for the 45 hours he worked during the week of June 23. This violates Section VIII, Hours of Work, and all other relevant sections of the contract. Joe Jones should be made whole, including but not limited to, being paid for five hours at time and a half."

What happened
Without any notification from management, the employer instituted changes in shifts for the Dietary Department and the Maintenance Department.

How it was written up
"The union grieves the shift changes established in the Dietary and Maintenance departments on October 2. This action violates Section II, Hours of Work, and all relevant sections of the contract as well as management' s past practice of prior notification. Management should rescind this change and restore the shifts."

What happened
Sue Miller, a clerk in the Motor Vehicles Department, was transferred out of the department after she refused to go out with her supervisor.

How it was written up

"Sue Miller was unjustly transferred from the Motor Vehicles Department on July 5. This violates Section IV, Promotions and Transfers; Section XX, Non-Discrimination clause; and all relevant sections of the contract, as well as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Sue Miller should be made whole, including being reinstated to her department with restoration of any pay, benefits, and seniority; and supervisors should cease and desist sexual harassment as required by law."
