Exceptional Conditions Permits for Unique Circumstances
If you receive a grievance or official notification from District Council 16 your FIRST step should be to contact NCGMA’s Director of Labor Relations, Brooke Fishel, so NCGMA can represent you and your interests with the union.
One item currently outlined in the Collective Bargaining Agreement is the ability to obtain an Exceptional Conditions Permit. This is to help address any contingencies that may arise out of ordinary circumstances which can temporarily alter conditions in the Agreement for that exceptional condition.
