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. 2, record 2, French, - comit%C3%A9%20de%20grief
