Union Release Time. ARTICLE 10.1
Union Release Time. (a) It is acknowledged by the parties that all Union stewards and other Union representatives have regular duties to perform as employees of the University. Therefore, Union stewards and other Union representatives will not leave their duties without first obtaining the permission of their supervisor, or designate. Requests for Union Release Time, paid or unpaid, shall not be unreasonably denied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties recognize that from time to time minor issues that require only a few minutes of the Union stewards’ or other Union representatives’ attention will arise and/or that there will be circumstances where an employment supervisor is not available; in such cases employees will exercise reasonable judgment having regard for the needs of their work and their immediate responsibilities before deciding to leave their duties.
Union Release Time. The Union President and the Chief Xxxxxxx shall be on full-time union release. All other Officers and Stewards of the Union shall be permitted time to conduct union business as reasonably necessary to perform their duties after advising, and getting the permission of, a designee of the City for their need to be absent to conduct union business. The City shall not unreasonably withhold authorization for Union Officers or Stewards to conduct union business. In the event that Officers and Stewards, other than the President and Chief Xxxxxxx, need to be on union release for a full day to tend to Union business, the Union shall seek the prior approval of the Department of Human Resources. The Union President, Chief Xxxxxxx, Officers, Stewards, and alternate Stewards shall not receive payment for overtime while on Union business. It is the intent of the parties that Union release time will be utilized in the manner that will least interfere with City operations.
Union Release Time. The Board will allow the Union three days of leave with pay annually for the purpose of conducting Union business. These days may be taken in ½ day increments. These days shall not accumulate to the next year. Leave will not be used to engage in activities related to work stoppage, striking or political activities related to local elections.

Effective the start of the pay period following Council approval of this MOU, the maximum number of hours in a fiscal year shall be 360 in the aggregate.
