The Grievance Tracking System (GTS) was a microcomputer-based system in the Governor's Office of Employee Relations (GOER), which collected information from all executive branch state agencies on grievances and grieved disciplines. Agencies were required to submit to GOER monthly reports on all new grievances and grieved disciplinary actions and related proceedings. The GTS files contain data on agency, employee name, bargaining unit, facility, charges filed, and decisions made at each step of the grievance or grieved discipline.
