"a) The Employer shall provide to the exclusive representative, including their agents and employees, reasonable access to employees in the bargaining units they represent. This access shall always be conducted in a manner so as not to impede normal operations. Access includes the following:\n(1) the right to meet with one or more employees on the employer's premises during the workday to investigate and discuss grievances and workplace-related complaints without loss of pay or leave time of employees or agents of the exclusive representative;\n(2) the right to conduct worksite meetings during lunch and other non-work breaks, and before and after the workday, on the employer's premises to discuss collective bargaining negotiations, the administration of collective bargaining agreements, other matters related to the duties of the exclusive representative, and internal matters involving the governance or business of the exclusive representative, without loss of pay or leave time of employees or agents of the exclusive representative. Neither the Union nor any of its members may engage in the solicitation of employees, any organizing activities, or other Union activity with employees of the University during the paid work time of those employees or in work areas without the prior permission of supervision. Representatives of the Union who are not employees of the University or who are not otherwise authorized to be in certain non-public areas of the University may not enter those areas without first notifying and receiving the prior permission of supervision.\nb) Union representatives employed by the University (including Union officials and Union stewards) may be permitted time away from their regularly assigned work duties to handle grievances, serve as \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 representatives, or attend pre-disciplinary meetings, labor- management meetings, grievance hearings, or negotiation sessions with advance permission from supervision. Union representatives shall provide as much notice as possible of the need to be away from work, and the granting of permission will be contingent upon the operational needs of the University. Union representatives will be allowed fifteen (15) minutes to travel to and adequate time to travel from meetings outside of their regularly assigned worksites.\nc) Union representatives employed by the University may be allowed time off without pay to attend functions conducted or sponsored by the Union (such as Union meetings, rallies, and so forth) to the extent permitted by the operations of the University, provided that the Union or such representatives submit as much advance notice as possible and the representatives request and obtain the necessary approval from supervision prior to being off work. The representatives will be permitted to utilize any accrued vacation or compensatory time that they may have in lieu of taking time off without pay.\nd) The University will permit Union officials holding certain positions (specifically, one President, one Vice President, one Treasurer, one Secretary, three Trustees, and one Sergeant at Arms) and three (3) additional Chief stewards to \u201ccross-over\u201d from one of the Union\u2019s bargaining units with the University to serve with pay as the Union\u2019s primary representative at a pre-disciplinary meeting involving an employee from another bargaining unit with the University that is represented by the Union, provided that the meeting occurs during the official\u2019s scheduled work hours and provided further that such official adheres to the obligations and limitations set forth in paragraph (c) of this section. A Chief \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 who is allowed to \u201ccross-over\u201d must remain a Chief \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 for a period of at least six (6) months.\ne) The Union will be permitted conduct an up to one (1) hour orientation program during regular working hours at a time mutually agreed to by both the University and the Union for employees newly hired into the bargaining unit. Such orientation sessions will occur within the first two (2) weeks of employment, and will take place on the employer\u2019s premises unless an alternate time and location are otherwise mutually agreed to by the Parties. Attendance at this orientation program shall be strictly voluntary and without the loss of pay. One University employee who is a representative of the Union will be authorized to attend such orientation sessions of up to one (1) hour each without loss of pay. The Union is responsible for organizing and scheduling the orientation. The University will work with the Union to provide a meeting a location as well as date and time, for the orientation upon request and subject to operational needs.", "samples": [{"hash":
