Employee Representation Clauses 49, 50 and 51 of this Agreement outline the rights for employee representatives and Union Delegates when assisting Employees. For clarity, each Employee has the right to determine whether they wish to be represented by a Union Delegate, Employee Representative, another representative of their choosing, or not at all. Such representatives (or individual Employees) are entitled to the protections of Division 4 of Part 3-1 of the Fair Work Act in relation to their involvement in lawful industrial activities.
Union and Employer Representation No employee or group of employees shall undertake to represent the Union at meetings with the Employer without the proper authorization of the Union. To implement this the Union shall supply the Employer with the names of its officers and similarly, the Employer shall supply the Union with a list of its supervisory or other personnel with whom the Union may be required to transact business.
ARTICLE UNION REPRESENTATION Representatives of the Union may make arrangements with the job supervisor or his designated representative to meet Xxxxxxxx and other employees, provided it does not interfere with the work. The Union agrees to give such assistance as is required of it by the Employer, to secure competent and qualified men for the job.

The Employer shall have the right to discharge or otherwise discipline employees who take part in or instigate any strike, picketing or slowdown or any other act which interferes with the regular schedule of work. The Union agrees it will not involve the Association or its member Employers in any dispute which may arise between the Union and any other Employer and the employees of such other Employer. The Union further agrees it will not condone a work stoppage or observe any picket line placed on a job site for jurisdictional purposes. The Employers each agree to sub-contract asphalt or concrete paving, curb gutter work, sewer and watermain work, landscape work, utility and heavy work, only to sub-contractors whose employees are covered by the monetary terms and conditions of a Collective Agreement with the Union.
