National Representative. During our recent contract negotiations, Subsections (3.2) Step 2 (f) and (3.2) Step 3 (a) of the Office and Clerical and Engineering Agreement were amended to provide that after the final second step answer, grievances will be referred to the National President or a designated representative for further action. During these discussions your Union explained that in some cases the thirty (30) day period for appeal of grievances to the Appeal Board may be insufficient for a proper review. This could lead to the appeal of grievances which would not otherwise be appealed if an extension of the time limit could be obtained. In addition, we discussed a procedure permitting the National President or a designated representative to withdraw a grievance without prejudice. In the interest of providing the National President sufficient time to review a grievance prior to its appeal to the Appeal Board, we will make arrangements whereby the National President may obtain an extension of the time to appeal a grievance involving a matter within the power and authority of the Appeal Board up to a maximum of thirty (30) days. Such requests shall be made in writing to the Staff Labour Relations Department. We will also make arrangements for the National President or a designated representative to withdraw without prejudice any such grievance. Requests for withdrawal of a grievance without prejudice shall be made in writing to the Staff Labour Relations Department. All financial liability on any grievance so withdrawn shall be cancelled. If the grievance is reinstated in the grievance procedure, the financial liability shall date only from the date of reinstatement. If the grievance is not reinstated within ninety (90) days from the date of withdrawal, it shall not be reinstated. The Company may suspend or terminate all or part of the provisions of this letter by giving ten (10) days' written notice to the National Union.
