*The above language can and should be used for all discrimination-related grievances. The only changes required would be the grounds that the grievor is being discriminated against ( human rights ground(s) ). This language should also be used for harassment-type grievances with the subtle changes noted. It should be noted that personal harassment is not adjudicable, which means that the grievance process stops at the third level and cannot be sent forward to arbitration.
