Wel- ' Many times the Hillfielder has called attention to the fact that the office of the Commanding Officer is open to all civilian employees ,who have complaints or grievances or suggestions to make, and a regular procedure has been .established to provide our workers with every facility to accomplish this purpose. Because we have so many new workers on the field, it may be worth while to again review this matter. Naturally, with thousands of workers and so many departments and activities,- - it is impossible for the Commanding Officer to keep in touch with every detail. He attempts to do' this by delegation of authority and through members of his staff. And not the least of his concern are the complaints and grievances of the employees, and methods to afford them an adequate, v V prompt and proper, remedy. has the this It command and of long been policy of the AAF to assure every employee the right to consult freely with his immediate supervisor concerning any problems or grievances related to his duties, working conditions, employment status, promotion, leave and ' any and all matters involved in his daily work. Like- wise, we are interested in legitimate criticism or constructive suggestions that will lead to greater efficiency and economy in our operations, or will contribute in , any way toward the furtherance of the war effort. if consult immediate with First, supervisor, your you deem.it necessary, but you may go directly to the next supervisor in line or to an employee counselor. The employee counselor will give you disinterested ad-vice and suggestions for further procedure. It is his duty to obtain all the pertinent facts and carefully consider them. The complaints or grievances or criticisms may be submitted orally in the case of your immediate supervisor, but at higher levels it is necessary to reduce them to writing. They may be kept confidential. If reduced to writing, you will get a written reply, provided, of course, you sign your name. In all those cases where a satisfactory solution is not reached under the general procedure as outlined, the matter will be carried through successive supervisory levels until it reaches my office. Directives provide that a committee of four persons will then be appointed by the commanding officer three of them civilians and two of the three shall be civilians" from the same work level as the complainant. ? , . ..
