Grievances

If you need to file a grievance, you may complete Appendix C: Grievance Procedure Form. If you choose to represent yourself during the grievance process, please follow the steps outlined in Article 16 in a timely manner so that you do not forfeit your rights. If you like, you may ask for union representation and the union will assist you in filing a grievance on your behalf and ensure your contract rights are met.

Members and non-members may send a confidential email to our grievance team at grievanceteam@aft1828.org if you require assistance. We promise we will do our best to get back to you within 48-72 work hours. Please note that it is best to use a non-vcccd email when you contact the union via email.
