Intermittent Union Leave Sample Clauses

The Intermittent Union Leave clause allows employees to take leave from work in non-continuous, separate periods specifically for union-related activities. This means that instead of taking a single, extended block of time off, employees can schedule multiple shorter absences as needed to attend union meetings, negotiations, or other official functions. The clause ensures flexibility for employees to fulfill union responsibilities without significantly disrupting their regular work schedules, thereby balancing the operational needs of the employer with the rights of employees to participate in union activities.
