Can I use the grievance procedure to get workers compensation benefits?
In rare cases, the grievance procedure has been used to obtain benefits for injured workers. You should not confuse this with workers’ compensation benefits. Workers’ compensation benefits are only awarded through the Division of Workers’ Compensation which is separate from benefits that you may receive pursuant to your bargaining agreement.
