UNION COMMITTEES AND STEWARDS Sample Clauses
The "Union Committees and Stewards" clause defines the roles, rights, and responsibilities of union representatives within a workplace. It typically outlines how union committees are formed, the process for selecting or electing stewards, and the scope of their authority in representing employees during grievances or negotiations. For example, it may specify the number of stewards allowed per department or the procedures for union meetings on company premises. This clause ensures that employees have organized representation and a clear process for addressing workplace issues, thereby promoting effective communication and dispute resolution between management and the union.
