Any individual agricultural employee or a group of agricultural employees shall have the right at any time to present grievances to their agricultural employer and to have ~~such~~ those grievances adjusted, without the intervention of the bargaining representative, as long as the adjustment is not inconsistent with the terms of a collective-bargaining contract or agreement then in effect, if the bargaining representative has been given opportunity to be present at ~~such~~ that adjustment.
