The General Assembly finds that a uniform procedure to resolve grievances of county and municipal employees arising from their public employment will contribute to more harmonious relations between public employers and public employees and result in an improvement in public service. The purpose of this article, which may be cited as the "County and Municipal Employees Grievance Procedure Act," is to implement this principle.
