The Union shall respond within ten (10) working days of the notice. The time limit for response may be extended upon request. Upon request, both parties shall meet and mutually share information, excluding work products, with regard to the classification study. Upon request by the Union and approval by the Executive Director release time shall be granted for bargaining unit employees to work on classification actions. B.
