May 2, 2006

The following articles each contain an in-depth analysis of one of the many grievance issues that face TCU Local and District Chairpersons. They are taken from The Winning Edge, a quarterly reference guide for TCU officers, and are reproduced here in PDF™ format. This ongoing series of reference materials augments TCU’s resident education programs for local leaders. Future articles will be posted on this page as well as printed.

The articles are separated into two major categories that cover nearly all local representation issues:
1) interpretation and enforcement of work rules; and 2) discipline.

(All articles may be reproduced freely with acknowledgment to TCU.)
