Introduced by: Clifton A. Woodrum | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Local employee grievance procedures; employee representatives. Addresses party representation in locality employees' grievance proceedings. Under current law, an employee may not be represented by counsel, except at the final management step. Moreover, only the grievant, a local government official and witnesses may be present in such proceedings' preliminary stages. This bill stipulates that all parties must represent themselves in preliminary management step meetings as follows: (i) the locality will be represented by the appropriate local government official (although an attorney may serve in this role if he is appearing pro se), and (ii) the grievant may be accompanied by a friend or relative familiar with the facts of the case and not an attorney. The bill leaves undisturbed current law permitting either side to employ counsel in the final management step.
