Joint Problem Solving. Under the mutual gains philosophy, the parties jointly agree to encourage joint problem solving and discussion between the employee and management, prior to filing a written grievance. This can be done with or without a PECSH representative. When mutually agreed upon, certain types of grievances can be handled through joint problem solving in place of the traditional grievance procedure (i.e., MNA Update, Mutual Gains Committee).

  • Problem/ Solution Statement Problem California’s forest health crisis is an emergency of unprecedented scope and scale, with disastrous implications for the state’s environment, economy, energy systems, and human life. Unlike essentially all other technologies and solutions proposed to respond to the crisis, gasification has the potential to process forest waste in a way that extracts value and sequesters a large portion of its carbon. Before the recipient’s development of the pre- commercial Powertainer technology, no one had developed gasification technology that could economically respond to the problem. As a result, there have not yet been any large-scale deployments of distributed, commercial-scale gasification technology. The acceleration of tree mortality and persistent drought conditions make finding solutions to this problem more critical with each passing day.
