Access to Work Areas. AND FACILITIES Union representatives shall be permitted access to all work areas where workers are or may be working, provided that:β A. To the extent practicable such access shall be timed to coincide with the non-work time of the affected workers in the area. B. To the extent the Union believes access to a work area is necessary to conduct essential Union business during the work time of affected workers the Union shall first notify the AVP of Employee & Labor Relations. The AVP of Employee & Labor Relations shall then advise the Union of any appropriate time for such access. In no event, if such access is granted, shall the total time allowed exceed 10 minutes, unless the supervisor agrees to a longer period of access. C. The Union agrees that its representatives will observe all safety practices and department rules and shall confine the duration and scope of access as set forth in the paragraphs above. Any conduct by a union representative that interferes or disrupts ongoing work may be grounds to bar any future access to the affected work area by that individual for a specified period of time. Any decision to bar future access will be communicated by the AVP of Employee & Labor Relations.
