Common use of Union Representation Rights Clause in Contracts

Union Representation Rights. A. The Union may call four (4) meetings per year of all Employees in each department during working hours for informational and educational purposes, including the interpretation, application, and administration of this Agreement. The year for this purpose shall begin with the effective date of this Agreement. The Employees may be divided into groups of convenient size. When more than one session is held for an informational and educational meeting, all Employees will have an opportunity to attend one of these sessions. Each session shall last no longer than two (2) hours. Employees shall be afforded reasonable travel time to and/or from the meeting, provided that travel time outside of the Employees’ work hours shall not be considered work time. The Union may use the Employer's conference rooms and similar building facilities for these informational and educational meetings. The Union will notify the Employer in writing of the date(s), time(s), and location(s) of the meetings at least ten (10) working days before they are held. If the hours during which the meetings are held are mutually acceptable, the Union shall be responsible for informing its members of the date(s), time(s), and location(s) of the meetings as well as arranging for any accommodations needed. However, this does not preclude those agencies that are currently assisting the Union in notifying Employees of the meeting arrangements from continuing the practice. In addition to the foregoing meetings, additional meetings may be held by agreement of the Employer and the Union.
