Union Security Membership and Representation
Recognition and Representation 1. The Union is the exclusive representative of all bargaining unit employees and has a right to be represented in negotiations, formal discussions, and meetings between employees and the Agency that concern conditions of employment, grievances, personnel policies and practices, or any other matter affecting general working conditions regardless of whether employees desire Union representation, to include during meetings conducted for the purpose of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) such as mediation. This may include Agency sponsored Committees/Meetings dealing with the above subjects. 2. The right to meet and confer will apply to all levels of management within the SCNG and within the Union, starting with the Union ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (if one is assigned) and the first level supervisor. It is the intent of the Parties to meet and confer at the lowest level for problem resolution. If the Parties at the initial point of contact feel resolution of a matter is outside their jurisdiction, the matter will be referred to a higher level. This includes Agency sponsored Committees/Meetings dealing with the subjects herein. 3. The Union’s right to be represented does not extend to informal discussions and meetings between an employee and the Agency. 4. The Agency shall recognize all Officers and Representatives designated by the Union, to include National Representatives. Upon request, the Union will provide the Agency, in writing, a list of all current Officers and Representatives, to include Stewards. 5. The Union’s primary point of contact for all matters is the designated State Representative, or any other representative appointed by the Union. The State Representative or designee will be given reasonable notice of and will be provided reasonable time to be present at meetings or formal discussions concerning any grievance, personnel policy or practice, or other general condition of employment. 6. The Agency shall not interfere in internal Union business. Internal Union business shall be conducted during non-duty hours, or while an employee is in a non-duty status. 7. The Agency agrees that there will be no restraint, interference, coercion, or discrimination against Union representatives as a result of performing their authorized duties under the Statute, and that no employee will be reassigned as a result of participating in protected activity. 8. To the extent that it does not interfere with Management’s Rights under Article 4, the Union, in consonance with its right to represent, may propose new policy, changes in policy, or resolutions to issues, involving conditions of employment or working conditions that are not covered by this Agreement. When the Union submits a proposal to the Agency IAW this Paragraph, the Parties have a duty to negotiate (to the extent that the subject is negotiable) and/or bargain the impact/implementation of said proposal IAW Section 6.3. 9. The LIUNA Local 1776 Business Manager, or their designated representative, is the only official authorized to reach final binding agreement on behalf of the Union concerning any workplace matter and regardless of whether the matter is covered by this Agreement. 10. Most of the information an employee shares with the Union is confidential, unless: a. The Union waives confidentiality; b.
