The supervisor should accept the employee's grievance and follow the process outlined in the labor agreement. Even if the supervisor believes it is not a contractual violation, it is still important to address the employee's concerns and attempt to resolve the issue. Refusing to accept the grievance or demanding proof of a contractual violation without following proper procedure could lead to a breakdown in the collective bargaining process. Consulting with a labor attorney may be necessary in some cases, but it is not necessary in every case.
