Grievance Representative. CSEA shall be permitted to designate the persons who shall be granted release time for processing grievances. “Processing grievances,” as used in this provision, means attending the meetings with school District administrators and the arbitration hearing, as set forth in the grievance procedure. These designated persons shall not leave their work station for grievance processing purposes without prior notification to the supervisor. Approval shall not be unreasonably withheld where an individual unit member is entitled to CSEA representation. Job Stewards shall have the right to receive reasonable periods of release time without loss of compensation for the processing of grievances. Whenever a meeting involving a supervisor/administrator and a grievant is held as part of the grievance procedure during the grievant’s normal assigned work day, the grievant shall be provided release time for attendance at that meeting. If the grievant requests a representative present at such a meeting, and the representative also requires release time in order to be present, such release time shall be granted by the supervisor. Any preparation for the grievance shall be done at times other than during working hours.
