Common use of Employee Representative Clause in Contracts

Employee Representative. Authorized Union representatives may be granted access to work locations in all hospital and health facilities, including areas utilized for patient care, treatment, and general work, in which employees covered hereby are employed, for the purpose of conducting grievance investigations and observing working conditions. Authorized Union representatives desiring such access to such work locations shall first request permission from the appropriate Management representative, at which time the authorized representative shall inform said Management representative of the visit. Said Management representative may deny access to a work location if in the resident’s judgment the resident deems that a visit will unduly interfere with the operations of the department or facility thereof, in which event said Management representative will recommend an alternative time for the visit. The Union shall, within thirty (30) days of the effective date of this Memorandum of Understanding, give to Management a written list of all authorized representatives, which list shall thereafter be kept current by the Union. Access to work locations hereunder will be granted only to representatives on the current list.
