Common use of Disciplinary Notification Clause in Contracts

Disciplinary Notification. PSE shall promptly be notified by the Employer of disciplinary actions against any employee. PSE is entitled to have an observer at hearings conducted by the Employer and to make known PSE's views concerning the case. PSE may use Employer facilities, on a space available basis, for the purpose of holding union meetings and conducting union business subject to University policies and procedures and payment of published rental charges, if any. The Parties agree to continue to meet concerning the development and implementation of electronic bulletin boards linked to the Western Labor Relations web site. A working committee will be formed with representatives from both the Employer and PSE to identify a proposal(s) for electronic bulletin boards due no later than September 30, 2013. If the parties cannot reach mutual agreement on electronic bulletin boards the Employer will provide physical bulletin boards or space to PSE for Union Communication. The parties will bargain over the number and location of the physical bulletin boards or space. Materials posted either electronically or physically will be appropriate to the workplace, politically non-partisan, in compliance with state ethics laws and officially identified as PSE literature. PSE communications may not be posted in any other location on the campus. The president of PSE’s local chapter and PSE’s employee representatives will be permitted to use the Employer’s communications systems, including Campus Mail Services and email, consistent with the provisions of Washington State law to communicate as needed with all bargaining unit employees about matters concerning the administration of the Agreement or collective bargaining in accordance with the established policies and procedures of the University. The Employer further grants to PSE the use of campus duplicating services, including self-operated machines, at the rate charged to other campus users. PSE and its membership will not use state-purchased supplies to conduct union business or representational activities. This does not preclude the use of the telephone for representational activities if there is no cost to the Employer, the call is brief in duration and it does not disrupt or distract from the Employer’s business. Representatives of PSE, upon making their presence known to the Employer, shall have access to the Employer’s premises during business hours; provided that conferences or meetings between employees and PSE representatives will not interfere with the Employer’s operations. With prior supervisor approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld, employees will be allowed to flex their work schedule to attend PSE local meetings that occur during the employees’ normal work time; provided that local meetings generally will be conducted between 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. or after 5:00 p.m.
