Shop Stewards Shop Stewards who have been selected pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Union to represent the employees covered hereby will be recognized by the Employer. The number of stewards appointed shall be reasonably related to the needs of the Union to represent bargaining unit members. The names of the stewards will be furnished to the General Manager of the Employer in writing before beginning their duties. An alternate shall act as the xxxxxxx when appointed to do so by the Union and the Employer is so notified. The Employer recognizes that the stewards will be assigned their Union duties and responsibilities by the Union and pursuant to this Agreement. The stewards will cooperate with the Employer in securing compliance with this Agreement and, at the request of the General Manager of the Employer, or of the General Manager’s duly authorized representative, will call to the attention of its employees any violations of this Agreement. Stewards shall perform their assigned duties as an employee covered by this Agreement. Stewards will be given a reasonable amount of time by the xxxxxxx’x supervisor during working hours, and without loss of pay, to handle Union business pertaining to the xxxxxxx’x area of responsibility which could not reasonably be accomplished during non-working hours. This business will be handled as expeditiously as possible and, except for matters taking only a few minutes, the appropriate management supervisor will be informed before a xxxxxxx performs Union business. A xxxxxxx may, with permission from the management supervisor, use a company vehicle to pursue labor management problems during working hours. During outages and other emergencies, a supervisor has the right to require a xxxxxxx to give priority attention to Employer’s business. The xxxxxxx will confine the xxxxxxx’x activities during working hours to those matters pertaining to this Agreement. Stewards will not be terminated for any cause until the General Manager of the Employer and the Business Manager of the Union have completed an investigation of such cause, provided that the investigation shall not last longer than fifteen (15) work days in cases not involving a reduction in force, and 48 hours in cases involving a reduction in force, without mutual agreement of the parties. In the event of a reduction in force involving a xxxxxxx, the General Manager for Employer and the Business Manager of the Union will meet at least 48 hours prior to the reduction in force to allow adequate time for the Business Manager to replace the xxxxxxx; this section, in and of itself, does not obligate Employer to otherwise give the Union advance notice of a reduction in force. As used in this section, “shop xxxxxxx” or “xxxxxxx” includes alternate shop stewards, and “working hours” does not include meal and break periods.
Job Stewards (1) An employee appointed as a Job Xxxxxxx shall, upon notification by the Union to the employer be recognised as the accredited representative of the Union and he/she shall be allowed all necessary time during working hours to submit to the employer matters affecting the employees he/she represents and further shall be allowed reasonable time during working hours to attend job matters affecting the Union. Provided that the foregoing does not relieve the Job Xxxxxxx of the obligation imposed upon him/her by his/her employer. A Job Xxxxxxx shall notify the employer and where relevant the principal contractor's representative and the Union prior to the calling of any stop work meeting so that the procedures laid down in Clause 42. - Settlement of Disputes - may be observed before any stoppage of work occurs.
(2) Prior to termination or transfer two days' notice shall be given to any Job Xxxxxxx and the Union. Payment in lieu of notice shall not be given. In the event of the Union disputing the decision of management to transfer the Job Xxxxxxx or terminate his/her service, the Union shall notify management within two working days after being informed of the decision of management. The Job Xxxxxxx shall remain on the job during which time a Board of Reference shall deal with the matter. The Union shall, within three working days of notifying the management that it disputes the decision to transfer or terminate the job xxxxxxx, request the Registrar or Deputy Registrar in writing to appoint a Board of Reference to deal with the matter. The Union and the employer shall do all things necessary to enable the Board to sit within ten working days of the management decision to transfer or terminate the job xxxxxxx. If the Board cannot sit within ten working days because of the employer's failure to nominate representatives, or their unavailability to sit on the Board, the decision to transfer or terminate the job xxxxxxx shall be null and void. If the Board cannot sit within ten working days because of the Union's failure to nominate representatives, or their unavailability to sit on the Board, the job xxxxxxx'x transfer or termination shall automatically take effect at the expiry of the period of ten working days. Provided that nothing in this subclause shall prevent the parties proceeding by agreement to have the matter settled by the Commission or a Local Disputes Board set up in accord with Clause 42 (3) in lieu of the Board of Reference procedure. Provided further that nothing shall affect the right of the employer to dismiss a job xxxxxxx without notice for misconduct or refusing duty.
