Chapter Representation. The grievant shall be entitled upon request to representation by the Association at all formal step grievance meetings. In situations where the Association has not been requested to represent the grievant, the District will not agree to a final resolution of the grievance until the Association has received a copy of the grievance and the proposed resolution, and has been given the opportunity to state its views on the matter. Ten (10) days will be considered an opportunity in this instance. 13.5.1 A Bargaining Unit Member may elect in writing to represent himself/herself rather than have the Association provide representation. If the grievant elects to represent himself/herself at Step II or beyond of this procedure, the Association shall be relieved of any further obligation or representation. 13.5.2 Except in instances of group grievances the grievant must be present at all times.
