The resolution of a grievance is binding upon the membership.

Article XIV, Section 6. (6 Jan)
All actions, whether by the national Grievance Committee or by a grievance
process at a state or special project level, shall be characterized by
fairness, courtesy, and respect for the dignity and the rights of each
individual. To that end, the following rights and responsibilities apply to
all grievance processes within the USGenWeb Project, XXGenWeb Projects, and
Special Projects.

Article XIV, Section 6(1) (10 Nov)
A member may choose to act as his or her own representative, or may select
someone to act as his or her representative. The member retains the right to
change or dismiss the representative at any step of the procedure; however,
such action will not affect the point at which the change or dismissal
occurs.

When a member is dismissed from a position in a State, Local, or Special
Project, that member's position may not be filled until the expiration of
the time for that member to file a grievance. When the said member files a
grievance, that position may not be filled unless the grievance resolution
against the member calls for the member to lose that position. Nothing
should prevent the unlinking of the member's website and establishing a
temporary website pending resolution of any grievance.

Article XIV, Section 6(2) (5 Jan)
Nobody shall be discriminated against for participating in the grievance
process.
