DEF

board of adjustment: An agency to deal with a specific set of labor-management problems.

DEF

Organisme tirant son existence des conventions collectives de travail chargé de la discussion et du règlement des plaintes formulées par les salariés concernant l'application et l'interprétation de ces conventions ainsi que toute autre question susceptible de survenir pendant la durée du contrat.

OBS

Parfois, il s'agit de véritables comités mixtes auxquels participent des représentants de l'employeur et du syndicat; parfois, il s'agit uniquement de délégués nommés par le syndicat pour discuter des plaintes avec l'employeur en vue de tenter d'en venir à une entente. Les comités proprement dits ont tendance à disparaître comme pièce clé du mécanisme de règlement des griefs.
