The shift trade between a Guild representative and a Guild member will not count towards their twenty- four (24) allotted shift trades per year. Eligible officers and stewards shall obtain approval from the immediate supervisor or Manager prior to utilizing Guild Release Time. When requested by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and approved by the City, employees may use their regular paid time off in excess of Guild release time, to attend training, conferences or participate in special projects.
