Re: Time Off For Union Duties/Business

Dear Ms. Harthun:

During the 2002 - 2005 negotiations, the representatives of the Company and the Union clarified the administration of time off work and compensation for performing Union duties/business. Subject to legitimate business needs, the Company will grant compensated or non-compensated time off work in accordance with the following guidelines.

NEGOTIATIONS Members of the Union negotiating committee and any other employee required to attend or prepare for negotiating meetings will be able to attend during working hours. These employees will not be compensated by the Company for time spent in and preparing for negotiations, unless previously agreed to by the parties.
GRIEVANCES & ARBITRATIONS A reasonable number of employees will be able to prepare for and attend grievance and arbitration meetings. Union employees will not lose their straight-time wages while attending grievance meetings. The time spent by Union members in preparing for and attending all arbitration meetings is not compensable by the Company.
JOINT MEETINGS A reasonable number of employees will be able to attend joint meetings between Union members and Company representatives. These employees will not lose their straight-time wages while attending or preparing for joint meetings.
UNION DUTIES/MEETINGS A reasonable number of employees may be excused but not compensated by the Company for attending, preparing for or performing union duties/meetings. This includes items such as counting votes, regular Union meetings, General Board meetings, working on Union accounting records, or other union duties or meetings.

There may be occasions when exceptions to these guidelines may be granted. The parties will make every effort to accommodate each other in these matters. The Union agreed to give as much advance notice as possible to supervisors of employees who need to be off work for Union business.

The advancing of wages for non-compensable union business will continue, absent abuse of this process. If problems arise, management will meet with the Union in an attempt to correct the abuse. However, management must maintain the right to discontinue this arrangement, if a satisfactory resolution cannot be reached.
