Grievance = complaint?

I looked up the word 'grievance'. But the explanation is even more confusing than itself. However, it seems it can be replaced with the word 'complaint.' For example, I can use 'complaint' instead of 'grievance' in this sentence: If you have a grievance against your Health Plan, you should first call your Health Plan before contacting the
Department.

Grievance = complaint only in specific contexts. It's a technical term in union-employer interactions.
