ACCESS TO ADJUNCTS. MSEA shall have access to adjuncts covered by this Agreement to carry out its legal responsibilities as a bargaining agent as provided for in this Article. MSEA will be provided with the opportunity to have an information table or similar place to make contact with and provide information to adjunct faculty members at any orientation session that is held for or offered to adjunct faculty members. At least a week prior to these meetings, MSEA will be provided with a list of new adjuncts who are invited to group meetings held for adjunct faculty in the Fall and Spring. MCCS will make good faith effort to secure location in each college where adjuncts may meet and discuss union matters during lunch and breaks or during non-course contact hours as well as a space to maintain confidential records. MSEA's representatives will be granted reasonable access to adjuncts during adjuncts' non- course contact hours for the purpose of investigating and processing grievances and for the purposes of administering this Agreement provided that the representative notifies the appropriate President or his designee in advance. Such access will not disrupt MCCS operations or violate MCCS security procedures. If access needs to be temporarily delayed for special reasons, those reasons shall be explained to the MSEA representative. Any MSEA representative may have on-campus access to adjuncts for the purpose of explaining MSEA programs and benefits during adjuncts' non-teaching working time, e.g., breaks and lunch periods, provided such access does not interfere with MCCS operations. Electronic mail capabilities as available to unit members in the course of their work may be used for the purpose of reasonable communication on union matters. In no instance may such union email contain material that is either profane or obscene.
