Check coverage and forum, preserve filing qualifications and distinguish voluntary conciliation from pressure. Support participation while giving fair opportunity to respond. Evaluate committee functioning and implementation, not merely existence or complaint totals.

5-Minute Revision

Choose the relevant forum for an eight-worker establishment and for a complaint against an employer. Explain why inability to prove an allegation does not establish malice. Map the distinct contributions of the three verified judgments to prevention, scope and fair procedure.
