Subject to prior approval of the City, time off without pay may be granted without discrimination or loss of seniority rights to any employee designated by the Union to attend a labor convention, provided ten (10) days advance written notice is given to the City by the Union specifying the purpose of the time off and the length of time off desired. Further provided said absence will not be detrimental to the efficient operations of the department.
