Association Recognition and Rights Clause Samples

The "Association Recognition and Rights" clause formally acknowledges the existence of an employee association or union and outlines the rights granted to it within the workplace. Typically, this clause specifies the association's ability to represent its members, participate in negotiations, and access certain workplace information or facilities. Its core function is to ensure that the association is officially recognized by the employer, thereby enabling structured communication and collective bargaining, and protecting employees' rights to organize and be represented.
Association Recognition and Rights. A. The Board of Education recognizes the North Cloud Education Association (NCEA), an affiliate of Kansas-NEA for the purposes of professional negotiations as the exclusive representative of the bargaining unit. B. The bargaining unit shall be defined as those contract employees of the Board of Education in positions which require a certificate/license issued by the State Board of Education or employed in a professional, educational, or instructional capacity by the Board of Education, but shall not mean any such person who is an administrative employee or administrative intern. C. The North Cloud Education Association has the right to use the school mail system, e-mail (in accordance with the district’s acceptable use policy), bulletin boards, and facilities to conduct regular business. D. Members of NCEA may take up to five (5) days of Association Leave per school year to participate in activities of the National Education Association (NEA), Kansas-NEA, or NCEA for business that is necessary to fulfill the function of the Association. Such leave must be requested by the Association President three days in advance of the leave. E. The NCEA President shall be provided board agendas and supplemental materials prior to meetings. F. The NCEA President, or Association designee, shall be released from duties to represent a member of the bargaining unit in any matter pertaining to this negotiated agreement, but only when that representation is needed during the duty day. This does not exclude the involvement of the KNEA UniServ Director.
