Local Unit Officers. The Association shall have the right to select a local unit President and other local unit officers from among nurses in the bargaining unit. Association business performed by the unit President or other officers, including the investigation of grievances, will be conducted during non-working hours (e.g., lunch periods, recognized breaks, and before and after shift). However, it is recognized that at times it may be necessary for communications with Hospital management related to grievances and other contract matters to take place during work hours without loss of pay to the officer. Such activity shall not take precedence over the requirements of patient care.
