If the <br /> EMPLOYER does not answer a grievance or an appeal thereof, within the <br /> specified time limits, the UNION may elect to treat the grievance as denied <br /> at that step and immediately appeal the grievance to the next step. The time <br /> limit in each step may be extended by mutual written agreement of the <br /> EMPLOYER and the UNION, in each step. <br /> ARTICLE VIII SAVINGS CLAUSE <br /> This AGREEMENT is subject to the laws of the United States, the State of Minnesota <br /> and the City of St. Anthony Ordinances.
