If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute via collaborative resolution, the grievance may be advanced to the next step. All grievance settlements reached through the collaborative resolution process are non-precedential and shall not be cited by either party or their agents or members in any arbitration or fact-finding proceedings. Grievance settlements reached through this process shall be reduced to writing and signed by the union representative, grievant, and management representative. Actions taken pursuant to the resolution of grievances through the collaborative resolution process shall not be deemed to establish or change practices under the Collective Bargaining Agreement or ORS Chapter 243, and shall not give rise to any bargaining or other consequential obligations.
