>>> I would add this, I would suggest that you write out your
grievance and submit it to your supervisor or their supervisor if
yours is the one creating the alleged problem. Keep a copy of your
signed grievance for your records. While the company may or may
not be required to have a policy in place, it is doubtful that you
could legitmately claim such as justification for not doing
anything. In the grievance, I would also ask for a formal written
response within say ten days and include in your grievance that you
are unaware of any formal procedure to follow since there are no
offical policies in place to guide employees in the right direction
(if this is what you believe to be correct). Steve
