No xxxxxxx shall leave a bus or building during working hours to either process or investigate a grievance or potential grievance without the express prior permission of his/her supervisor; provided, however, that such permission shall not be unreasonably withheld or withheld for more than two (2) working days; and provided further that such stewards shall promptly and without delay return to their work assignments. Grievances shall be submitted at such times as will least interfere with the work schedules and school operations. No verbal discipline or discharge of any employee, which would result in loss of pay, shall be given unless a xxxxxxx is present.
