ACCESS TO NEW BARGAINING UNIT EMPLOYEES/NEW EMPLOYEE ORIENTATION Clause Samples

The "Access to New Bargaining Unit Employees/New Employee Orientation" clause establishes the union's right to meet with newly hired employees who are part of the bargaining unit, typically during their orientation period. In practice, this clause allows union representatives to provide information about union membership, rights, and benefits, often by scheduling a brief session during the employer's onboarding process. Its core function is to ensure that new employees are informed about their representation and union-related matters from the outset, promoting awareness and engagement while preventing misunderstandings about union rights and responsibilities.

  • New Employee Orientation The Union will provide each agency personnel director with the names and addresses of up to two (2) authorized Union representatives per agency to receive notice of each formal orientation meeting held by the Department. The notice will be sent as soon as such meetings are scheduled (but not less than ten (10) days in advance) and will include date, time and location.

Agencies shall routinely schedule orientations in a manner that will allow for the ten (10) day advance notice to the Union. During the formal orientation, the Union will be permitted to give a twenty (20) minute presentation which may include an enrollment in supplemental Union benefits. The parties shall encourage employee attendance, although attendance shall not be mandatory if an employee objects to attending the presentation. In the event a formal orientation meeting is not held, or the Union is unable to attend the formal orientation because the designated Union representatives cannot be released under Article 4, the Employer shall allow the Union representative and the employee(s) to meet during duty hours at a mutually agreed upon time and location for twenty (20) minutes Employee participation in these meetings shall be encouraged although an employee shall not be required to attend such a meeting.
