PLEASE NOTE: employees who were retained from company to company maintained their files and did not start new file arrangements. To aid researchers, the change in company name from Ransome Airlines to PAE to TWE appears before the original file title. The Grievance and arbitration files [RESTRICTED on 50-year time-seal] subseries consists of labor union grievances filed by unions on the employees' behalf, as well as arbitration documents. The grievance files are similar to human resources performance reviews or disciplinary documentation. An employee violated a policy and was cited for it, the employee disagreed with the company's action, and the union sent a grievance letter to the employer. The arbitration documentation often includes testimonies similar to depositions, briefs, exhibit evidence, correspondence, notes, opinions, and award letters. Materials from grievance files are often mixed in with the arbitration files or reused as exhibit evidence. The Systems Board of Adjustments (SBA) is the tribunal established to resolve arbitration disputes. The subseries has been arranged alphabetically by the union; the secondary arrangement is chronological to maintain the original order. The date the restriction ends has been noted in brackets in the file titles. The materials date from 1982 to 1994. There are ALPA grievances, primarily from PAE with a few from TWE. There are four PAE ALPA arbitration cases. There is a sample grievance and fact sheet for IUFA and IBT. One IUFA arbitration case became an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission case; there are two other arbitration cases with their grievances. All IUFA materials are from PAE. There are some PAE and TWE grievances from IBT. Most of the IBT files are from one arbitration case on TWE vacation time. The IBT materials date from 1988 to 1994.
