~ 1 <br />15.2. A grievance may be filed by any member of the <br />bargaining unit. Where a group of bargaining unit members desire <br />to file a grievance involving a situation affecting more than one <br />member of the bargaining unit in a similar manner, one member <br />selected by such a group shall process the grievance. Such <br />grievance shall be defined as a group grievance. The names of <br />each member, on behalf of which the grievance is filed, shall be <br />made available at the first hearing. Group grievances shall be <br />presented in the first instance to the supervisor common to all <br />employees in the group. The grievance procedure outlined in <br />Section 15.5 shall be used throughout. <br />15.3. All grievances must be processed-and answered at the <br />proper step in the grievance progression to be considered at the <br />next step. Any grievance that is not timely appealed to the next <br />step of the procedure, will be deemed to have been settled on the <br />basis of the Employer's answer at the last completed step. <br />Time limits set forth herein may only be extended by <br />mutual agreement of the parties. The aggrieved may withdraw a <br />grievance at any point by submitting, in writing, a statement to <br />that affect, or by permitting the time requirements at any step to <br />lapse without further appeal. Any grievance not answered by the <br />Employer or his designee within the stipulated time limits shall <br />be considered to have been appealed to the next step in the <br />grievance procedure. <br />(22) <br />
