Grievance record redaction is the removal of personal identifiers from a worker complaint tied to NLRA § 7 (29 U.S.C. § 157). That section protects concerted activity. anonym.plus marks names, contacts, and dates on your device, so the concern stays readable while the people are shielded.
When this applies
A grievance names the worker, supervisors, and co-workers involved. You strip those identifiers before the file circulates.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the grievance in anonym.plus on your device.
- The tool flags worker and supervisor names.
- Local OCR reads a scanned filing form.
- Keep the contract clause and step references.
- Swap or black out the confirmed items.
- Save the clean copy locally.
What you need to provide
- The filed grievance (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
- An operator (Replace keeps clauses readable).
- Optional allow-list for contract article numbers.

Limitations & cautions
Shielding a worker who raised a concern is hard. A unique event can identify them once names are gone. Keeping that quiet supports protection against retaliation for concerted activity.
Frequently asked questions
Will contract clauses survive the pass?
Yes. Allow-list article and step numbers so they stay. Only personal identifiers are marked for removal.
Does the tool send the grievance anywhere?
No. It is a fully offline desktop app. The filing and its details stay on your machine throughout.
Can it keep one worker steady across linked files?
Yes. The optional name map ties one person to one alias. Turn it off when you need true anonymity.
