Common use of Coalition Tables Clause in Contracts

Coalition Tables. Coalition negotiations will take place after normal business hours. For Coalition negotiations, the Employer agrees to unschedule, or grant paid time as outlined below, for up to a total of twenty-four (24) employees designated as employee bargaining team representatives, except temporary employees, but no more than eight (8) employees per coalition table. The designated employee bargaining team representative will be granted up to twenty- four (24) non-cumulative hours each month of paid time for up to one-hundred and fifty (150) calendar days for attendance at negotiations, including travel time, provided coalition bargaining sessions and/or travel time occur during an employee’s regular work schedule. However, the one-hundred and fifty (150) calendar days will begin no later than February 15 or the closest business day thereto. The inclusion of paid time will not result in the employee receiving greater benefit than the employee would have received had the employee not attended the bargaining session. Should it become necessary for the Employer to replace or unschedule an employee scheduled for swing or graveyard shift so as to permit that employee to participate in collective bargaining negotiations, the Union agrees alternatively as follows: (1) Six (6) workdays notice shall be given by the Union to the Employer so as to allow the Employer to avoid payment of penalty pay for the schedule change of the replacement employee; or (2) If the Union does not give notice prescribed in (1) above, the Union shall reimburse the Employer for the penalty pay paid to the replacing employee.
