Association Stewards Sample Clauses
The 'Association Stewards' clause defines the roles and responsibilities of individuals or entities appointed to oversee and manage the affairs of an association. Typically, this clause outlines the process for selecting stewards, their authority in decision-making, and their duties in representing the interests of the association's members. By clearly establishing who is responsible for governance and how they are chosen, this clause ensures effective management and accountability within the association, helping to prevent disputes and maintain organizational order.
Association Stewards. The Association may designate bargaining unit employees in regions to function as Association Stewards in all departments located within the boundaries of their region. Every six (6) months the Association President shall notify the Employer in writing of the names and departments of origin of the Association Stewards selected as provided in this Article and designate the region which each one will represent. The Association President shall notify the Employer of any subsequent changes in such Stewards.

The Employer agrees that during working hours, while on the County's premises and without loss of pay the Stewards shall be entitled to spend a reasonable amount of their work time in the investigation of and presentation to the Employer grievances; provided however, this activity does not unreasonably interfere with the Employees’ performance of their normal work duties. Further, the Employer agrees that during work hours, while on the County's premises that up to two (2) Stewards shall be compensated, at straight-time, for the actual time spent in negotiations. The time spent in negotiations shall not be used to create overtime or compensatory-time situations in calculating the total hours worked for any non-exempt Employee during any work week.

The Association ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall first inform his/her supervisor of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ impending departure from his/her work site and shall first receive approval to leave the work location. Such approval shall not be unreasonably denied.
