Association Activities during Working Hours. Whenever a representative of the Association or a GESPA employee is scheduled by the Board, or by the superintendent, to participate during working hours in negotiations, grievance proceedings, conferences, or meetings, the GESPA employee shall suffer no loss in pay nor shall such participation be charged to the GESPA employee's leave time.
Association Activities during Working Hours. The ASSOCIATION further agrees that it will not solicit members or engage in the ASSOCIATION activities of any kind during work hours except, however, that during working hours an ASSOCIATION Sergeant may participate in the handling of a grievance through the steps of the grievance procedure (Article X, Section 10.01) or may attend an Arbitration hearing as a witness or as the grievant pursuant to Section 10.02, provided the minimum duty manpower requirements permit. If minimum duty manpower requirements prevent a scheduled participation in grievance handling, the handling shall be rescheduled and the time limits deemed waived to the extent needed to permit rescheduling. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the VILLAGE agrees that those ASSOCIATION members who are on assigned duty coincidentally with an ASSOCIATION meeting called for the purpose of considering a VILLAGE collective bargaining contract offer may attend such meeting but subject to minimum duty manpower requirements. Any member allowed to attend such a meeting may be recalled at the discretion of the duty Watch Commander.
