Union Time Representation Clause Samples

The UNION TIME/REPRESENTATION clause defines how time spent by employees on union-related activities is managed and recognized by the employer. Typically, this clause outlines the conditions under which union representatives are permitted to take time off from their regular duties to perform union functions, such as attending meetings, handling grievances, or participating in negotiations. It may specify whether such time is paid or unpaid, the process for requesting time off, and any limitations on the amount of time allowed. The core purpose of this clause is to ensure that union representatives can effectively fulfill their roles without undue penalty or disruption to their employment, thereby supporting fair labor relations and workplace representation.

  • Grievance Representation (A) An employee who decides to use this grievance procedure shall indicate at Step 1 (or other initial written step as authorized by the provisions of this Article) whether he shall be represented by the Union. If a grievant selects a Union Grievance Representative to represent him in a grievance which has been properly filed in accordance with this Article, the Union Grievance Representative may be allowed a reasonable amount of annual leave to investigate the grievance. Such annual leave shall be subject to prior approval by the Union Grievance Representative’s immediate supervisor; however, approval of such leave will not be withheld if the Union Grievance Representative can be allowed such time off without interfering with, or unduly hampering the operations of the unit to which the Union Grievance Representative is regularly assigned. When a grievant has elected Union representation, both the grievant and the Union Grievance Representative shall be notified of a Step 1 meeting. Written communication concerning the grievance or its resolution shall be sent to the grievant and the Union Grievance Representative, and the decision agreed to by the state and the Union shall be binding on the grievant. (B) If the employee is not represented by the Union, an adjustment of the grievance shall be consistent with the terms of this collective bargaining Agreement. The Union shall be given reasonable opportunity to be present at a meeting called for the resolution of such grievance. A grievant using this procedure in the processing of a grievance will be bound by the procedure established by the parties to the Agreement. (C) The Executive Director of the Union shall furnish to the state a list of Union Representatives and the state will not recognize a person as a Union Representative whose name does not appear on the list. (D) If a grievance meeting, mediation, or arbitration hearing is held or requires reasonable travel time during the work hours of grievant, a representative of the grievant, or any required witnesses, such hours shall be deemed time worked. Attendance at grievance meetings, mediation, or arbitration hearings outside of a participant’s regular work hours shall not be deemed time worked.
