Something going wrong at work?
Use your union contract's grievance procedure!
grievances@ufcw1000.org

Step 1
Has the contract been violated?
If a union member thinks his or her rights under the union contract have been violated, the first step is to discuss the matter with a shop steward or union representative. Should the union determine a violation of the contract may have occurred, there will be an attempt to resolve the issue with the store manager. You can email us grievance details and statements at grievances@ufcw1000.org or filling out this form http://bit.ly/UFCWGrievance.
Step 2
Laying out the facts
If a resolution is not reached, a meeting and/or phone conference is held with the employer (sometimes the store manager, district manager, or human resources as the case may be) in a further attempt to resolve the issue. If it is still not resolved, the issue may proceed to another step.
Step 3
Finding a resolution
This step involves Human Resources where the Local's Grievance Director will sit down face to face and bring the matter up with all relevant facts and the contract. Rarely, another step is needed -
arbitration, in which an outside neutral arbitrator hears the case from both union and company representatives and delivers a binding decision.

Hurt at work in Oklahoma?
Learn the process for dealing with your work-related injury.

1
Report your injury
You have the responsibility to give your employer prompt notice that the injury has occurred. By law, the employer must provide reasonable and necessary treatment within five (5) days of receiving knowledge or notice that a work-related injury has occurred. If the employer fails to do so, the employee may have the right to select his or her own treating physician at the employer's expense.

File a claim
Typically, employers and/or insurance carriers will ensure that injured workers receive the proper medical treatment and any benefits payable under the law. However, occasionally a dispute will arise and it may be necessary for the injured worker to file a claim with the Workers' Compensation Commission to preserve his or her rights: http://www.ok.gov/wcc
