Union Stewards Clause Samples
The 'Union Stewards' clause defines the role and rights of union representatives within a workplace. It typically outlines how union stewards are selected, their responsibilities in representing employees during grievances or disciplinary actions, and the extent of their access to work areas and management. For example, the clause may specify that stewards can attend meetings with management on behalf of employees or investigate workplace issues during working hours. The core function of this clause is to formalize the presence and authority of union stewards, ensuring employees have effective representation and support in labor relations matters.
