Union Stewards. The Employer recognizes the right of the Union to create and utilize a bargaining unit leadership structure (Unit officers) as it deems necessary. The Employer agrees that stewards will not be retaliated against as a result of the fulfillment of their xxxxxxx duties. The parties agree that disciplinary action taken against a xxxxxxx by Employer does not automatically constitute retaliation and that each case will be approached on its own merits. The Union will provide to the Employer a listing identifying such officers, including stewards, upon request. Officers shall not be recognized by the Employer until the Union has provided such notice. Exceptions to the foregoing shall be made only on an emergency basis, and subject to the approval of the Union. The Union will notify the Employer in writing when individuals leave Union officer positions. Stewards shall not allow their activities as stewards to interfere with or disrupt the performance of their work or the work of any other employee. Except as provided below, stewards will not conduct Union business while on-duty without Employer approval. To the extent possible, stewards shall engage in Union activities on off-duty time, pre-and post- shift and duringbreaks. Employer will notify employees of their right to representation during investigative interviews but if employee declines in writing on a form (the substance of which is agreed upon by Employer and Union) said investigation may proceed. Employees called to an investigative interview, which the employee reasonably believes may result in disciplinary action, shall have the right to secure Union representation during such meetings. If the Employer requests an on- duty Union xxxxxxx or Union officer, they will be paid their regular wage as per regular shift. Nothing contained herein shall excuse the immediate preparation of an Unusual Occurrence report as required by Employer’s current policy. Stewards shall not be paid for time spent preparing or attending level 1 and 2 grievance meetings, arbitrations, appearing as a witness at an arbitration, or for engaging in any general Union business which is related to an investigation. Such Union representation will occur in the followingmanner:

The Union may designate a reasonable number of Union Stewards who must be members of the Union, and shall provide all departments, offices, or bureaus with a written list of employees who have been so designated and revised lists within thirty (30) calendar days of any changes in said designations. A xxxxxxx may represent a said grievant in the presentation of a grievance at all levels of the grievance procedure. A xxxxxxx may represent an employee in pre-disciplinary hearings (Xxxxxx) or pre-disciplinary interviews where there is a reasonable expectation that disciplinary action will follow. An employee and his/her xxxxxxx may have a reasonable amount of paid time off for the above-listed activities. However, a xxxxxxx will receive paid time off only if he/she is the representative of record; is a member of the same Union as the employee; is employed by the same department, office or bureau; and, is employed within a reasonable distance from the work location of the employee. If a xxxxxxx must leave his/her work location to represent an employee, he/she shall first obtain permission from his/her supervisor on a form provided for such purpose. Permission to leave will be granted unless such absence would cause an undue interruption of work. If such permission cannot be granted promptly, the grievance xxxxxxx will be informed when time can be made available. Such time will not be more than forty-eight (48) hours after the time of the xxxxxxx’x request, excluding scheduled days off and/or legal holidays, unless otherwise mutually agreed to. Denial of permission to leave at the time requested will automatically constitute an extension of time limits provided in the grievance procedure herein, equal to the amount of the delay. Before leaving his/her work location, the xxxxxxx shall call the requesting employee’s supervisor to determine when the employee can be made available. Upon arrival, the xxxxxxx will report to the employee’s supervisor who will make arrangements for the requested meeting. Time spent on grievances, or the pre-disciplinary representation activities described above, outside of regular working hours of the employee or his/her xxxxxxx shall not be counted as work time for any purpose. Whenever these activities occur during the working hours of the employee and/or the xxxxxxx, only that amount of time necessary to bring about a prompt disposition of the matter will be allowed. City time, as herein provided, is limited to the actual represen...
