Branch Meetings. A trade union is permitted to hold, during working hours, two general Branch meetings per year for all its members. One of these must be the Annual General Meeting. A minimum of three weeks’ notice is required in writing to the Employer’s Side Secretary, or their nominated representative. The Employer’s Side Secretary, or their nominated representative, will either confirm the intended date is acceptable, or if there are any objections, will inform the Branch Secretary of these and require that the Branch Secretary suggest an alternative date(s) for the meeting. Where a date and time has been agreed as mutually acceptable, the Employer’s Side Secretary, or their nominated representative, will advise Internal Shared Services in order that arrangements can be made to allow members wishing to attend the meeting, leave of absence. Permission will not be unreasonably refused subject to the exigencies of the service and management approval. Industrial relations The trade union may request time-off with pay to allow employees to attend workplace meetings to discuss industrial relations matters, including proposed changes of the organisation, structure or terms and conditions of service. Generally these meetings should start no earlier than 3.30pm, or should be at the end of the working day at a time that will cause minimum disruption. Where meetings are requested, as much notice should be given as far as reasonably possible, and not less than 72 hours in advance of the meeting date. The reasons for the meeting must be given in writing to the Employer’s Side Secretary, or their nominated representative. Where less than 72 hours’ notice is given, the Employer’s Side Secretary, or their nominated representative, may consider if there is justification for the meeting going ahead and provide their decision on the request. Where a date and time has been agreed as mutually acceptable, the Employer’s Side Secretary or their nominated representative will advise Internal Shared Services in order that arrangements can be made to allow members wishing to attend the meeting leave of absence. Permission will not be unreasonably refused subject to the exigencies of the service and management approval.
