Inc council candidly stated, in
its report. that ION the manage
ment side. there are still signs of
reluctance to accept the principles
of emplQye relations underlying
formal grievance procedure and a
disposition to regard the procedure
as something Of a nuisance and
an obstacle to proper exercise of
disciplinary authority"
On the employe side, workers
"lack confidence" in the present
system. the council said. Most en-
ployes complain they can't get a
square DEAL" the council de-
clared. 7F
AS result Of all this, the Civil
Service Commission and indi-
vidual members Of Congress are
bombarded with protests from en-
ployes dissatisfied with the way
their complaints were handled. the
council added.
The council proposed that all
types OF grievances be handled by
each agency under a unified pro-
Icedure. The employe should be
entitled to the right of repre-
Isentation by any person he chooses
in the presentation of the griev-
ance. the council recommended.
The council also proposed that
hearings be held in these cases
after all informal attempts to
settle the grievance have failed.
The hearing boards would be
composed Of two representatives
selected by the employe and the
agency and the third member
would be selected by the two other
representatives.
The council said its proposals
would not solve the grievance
problem entirely. particularly in
the matter Of appeals from ad-
verse agency grievance decisions.
The council said it will continue
its study along these lines. OF
particular concern is the problem
Iof developing satisfactory griev-
ance procedure that would make
unnecessary many employe ap-
lpeals to the Civil Service Com
mission. t
However. the council declared
its proposals. if adopted, would do
much to improve the Govern
ments grievance system. The
report Is particularly noteworthy
because 1t was complied by the
Governments personnel officials,
who are nanagement's spokes-
men in employe relations.
