As a result of our discussions and mutual interest in resolving grievances expeditiously and at the lowest grievance resolution level possible, the parties agree to enter into an additional one-year Grievance Pilot, as outlined in this agreement, beginning January 2, 2026. Grievances within the scope of the Pilot shall only be discipline cases up to the DML level. There will be no modifications to the First Step process. All grievances filed within the scope and during the active period of the Pilot will be processed in accordance with the process below.
