Presentation of the AFMC Form 913 does not preclude informal resolution as discussed in Section 6.02. The first level supervisor will do the following. (1) Provide a receipted copy of the AFMC Form 913 to the employee as soon as possible but not later than 1 workday. (2) Forward a copy of the AFMC Form 913 to the Union within 3 workdays. (3) Forward the AFMC Form 913 to the designated management official (DMO) designated to hear grievances within 3 workdays. The DMO to whom the grievance is referred must not be the official who took the action. (4) Contact the supervisor of the designated Union steward within 3 workdays to coordinate the steward/employee meeting.
