Abstract

In light of the growing interest in grievance procedures for nonunion employees, this study investigated the incidence and determinants of such procedures using data from a large sample of employers in Atlantic Canada. About one-third of the organizations reported having a nonunion grievance procedure without arbitration while less than 7 percent had a nonunion grievance procedure with arbitration as the final step. Progressive decision making ideology, the presence of a human resource management department, and organization size were strongly related to the presence of a nonunion grievance procedure.
