Union Stewards (a) The Hospital agrees to recognize Union stewards to be elected or appointed from amongst employees in the bargaining unit who have completed their probationary period for the purpose of dealing with Union business as provided under this Collective Agreement. (b) A Chief ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or designate may, in the absence of any ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, assist in the presentation of any grievance, or with any ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ function. (c) The Union shall keep the Hospital notified in writing of the names of Union stewards appointed or selected under this Article as well as the effective date of their respective appointments. (d) It is agreed that Union stewards have their regular duties and responsibilities to perform for the Hospital and shall not leave their regular duties without first obtaining permission from their immediate supervisor. If, in the performance of his duties, a Union ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is required to enter an area within the Hospital in which he is not originally employed, he shall report his presence to the supervisor in the area immediately upon entering it. Such permission shall not be unreasonably withheld. When resuming his regular duties and responsibilities, such ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall again report to his immediate supervisor. A Union ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall suffer no loss of earnings for time spent in performing the above duties during his regular scheduled working hours. (e) Nothing in this Article shall preclude full-time stewards from representing part-time employees and vice-versa. (f) The number of stewards and the areas which they represent, are to be determined locally.
UNION ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 9:01 The Union may appoint and the Employer shall recognize a ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for each shop, job or area. The Employer's General Manager shall be notified in writing of the name of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ when the appointment becomes effective. The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be recognized as the representative of the Union for the shop, job or area in which he/she is working and no discrimination shall be shown against the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for carrying out his/her Union duties. The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not be laid off, transferred or discharged by reason of executing his/her Union duties and responsibilities as a ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. To be eligible for appointment as a ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, the employee must have been in the employ of the Company for 12 consecutive months immediately prior to the appointment. 9:02 The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall assist in adjusting differences which may arise out of the interpretation, application or alleged violation of this Collective Agreement subject to the provisions as laid out in the grievance procedure in Article 27. The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be paid his/her regular rate of pay when executing his/her duties and responsibilities under this provision of the Collective Agreement, and only while the duties are within the Company premises or at a mutually agreed upon alternate location.
Union Label All uniforms and clothing issued by the Employer shall bear a recognized Union label.
Union Leave Upon the request of the Union, a leave of absence without pay to attend to Union business shall be granted to an employee. Two (2) weeks' advance written notice shall be given to the Employer indicating that such leave is required and unless otherwise agreed to by the Employer no more than one (1) bargaining unit employee shall be entitled to such leave at any one (1) time. This type of leave shall not exceed one (1) calendar year unless otherwise mutually agreed to between the Employer and the Union.
