Amanda's first step would be to meet with her union steward and supervisor to discuss the issue and try to resolve it at the lowest possible level. The union steward can provide advice and support during the grievance process, and the supervisor may be willing to reconsider or modify the disciplinary decision. Filing a written complaint with the HR manager or contacting the grievance division of the national union may be necessary if the issue cannot be resolved at the local level. Applying for arbitration would be the last resort if all other options fail.
