If a grievance is not appealed to the <br />next step within the specified time limit or any agreed extension thereof, it <br />shall be considered settled on the basis of the Employer's last answer. If the <br />Employer does not answer a grievance or an appeal thereof within the <br />specified time limits, LELS may elect to treat the grievance as denied at that <br />step and immediately appeal the grievance to the next step. The time limit <br />in each step may be extended by mutual written agreement of the Employer <br />and LELS in each step. <br /> <br />Choice of Remedy. If, as a result of the written Employer response in Step <br />3, the grievance remains unresolved and if the grievance involves the <br />suspension, demotion or discharge of any employee who has completed the <br />required probationary period, the grievance may be appealed either by Step <br />4 of ARTICLE VI or a procedure such as: Veteran's Preference or Fair <br />Employment. If appealed to any procedure other than Step 4 of ARTICLE <br />VI, the grievance is not subject to the arbitration procedure as provided in <br />Step 4 of ARTICLE VI. The aggrieved employee shall indicate in writing <br />which procedure is to be utilized -- Step 4 of ARTICLE VI or another appeal <br />procedure -- and shall sign a statement to the effect that the choice of any <br />other hearing precludes the aggrieved employee from making a subsequent <br />appeal through Step 4 of ARTICLE VI. <br /> <br />1989-90 LELS Agreement (June 1, 1990 Draft) Page 8 <br /> <br /> <br />
