Grievances are filed with the UCSC labor relations office. They must be filed within thirty calendar days. If the grievance is not resolved, it can be taken to arbitration. See Article 12 of the ASE contract and Article 11 of the GSR contract., non-arbitrableArbitration: Arbitration is a process of bringing a dispute before a independent third party.

Only UAW may bring complaints to arbitration—not the UC. authority of the University of California.
