What is one cause that does not constitute grounds for a grievance?

The reason the use of force is not typically considered grounds for a grievance is that such matters often fall under specific operational or legal protocols that are addressed through different avenues within law enforcement practices. Use of force incidents are typically subject to internal review processes, departmental policies, and legal standards that govern law enforcement conduct. They are often investigated separately to ensure that appropriate protocols were followed and that the use of force was justified based on the circumstance rather than being classified as an individual grievance.

In contrast, neglect, unfair treatment, and discriminatory practices are more directly related to personal or administrative issues that can impact an employee’s rights, job performance, or working conditions. These topics usually involve breaches of ethical standards or policies that would warrant filing a grievance. Therefore, while use of force is a serious issue, it is treated as a separate matter from the employee grievance processes that deal with personal treatment and workplace issues.
