Then fix the problem. Closure : Decide your response/action and give a full explanation. This allows the matter to be finalized. Learn from it : The resolution of this grievance should give you practical insight in how to deal with this situation (and possibly others) in the future.
In so far as the grievances of the workers are concerned in TISCO, the issues and interpretation of policies are discussed only at the top management level. The union, however, has the right to take up such matters at the Central Works Committee. Those cases which are pending with the Works committee are not discussed at any other level till the case is withdrawn from the Works Committee.
