Access and Presentation. At all NEOs, the Union shall be afforded thirty (30) minutes to meet with represented new employees who are present. The right of the Union to meet with newly-hired employees is limited to only those employees whose classifications fall within the Union's bargaining unit. The Agency shall ensure privacy for the Union's orientation, and it shall take place without Agency representatives present. This requirement can be met by providing either a private room or a portion of a room with sufficient distance from other activities in the room to limit disruption. The Agency shall be responsible for including Union presentations on the agenda. The Union's presentation shall occur prior to any meal break, and will not be conducted during a scheduled break time. One (1) of the Union's representatives may be a Union member designated by the Union. Such member(s) shall be released to attend under the terms and conditions specified in the MOU. The Union may request release of a Union- designated member to attend the NEO. Release time shall not be unreasonably withheld. Said requests shall be made to the Employee Relations Division no less than three (3) business days in advance of the scheduled NEO.
