Typically, this clause outlines the types of training eligible for official time, such as workshops on labor relations or contract administration, and may specify procedures for requesting and approving such time off. Its core function is to ensure that union representatives can participate in essential training without loss of pay or benefits, thereby supporting effective labor-management relations and informed representation.
