Notification and Recognition. 1. The Union will provide the Employer with a written list of Union Representatives, their geographic jurisdictions and the appropriate contacts for each office. The Union will maintain the list. 2. The Employer will recognize any Union Representative on the list. The Employer will not recognize an employee as a Union Representative if their name does not appear on the list. 3. The Union will provide written notice to the Employer of any changes within thirty (30) calendar days of the changes. 4. Union Representatives must provide notice to their supervisor to prepare for and/or attend any meeting during their work hours. All notices must include the approximate amount of time the Union Representative expects the activity to take. Time spent preparing for, traveling to and from, and attending meetings during the Union Representative’s non-work hours will not be considered as time worked. Union Representatives will record time spent on union activities in accordance with AGO policy and practice, using the AGO Timekeeping system. Timekeeping codes to facilitate these records will be provided by the AGO. If the amount of time a Union Representative spends performing representational activities is unduly affecting their ability to accomplish assigned duties, the Employer will not continue to release the employee and the Union will be notified. 5. Union Representatives may not use state vehicles to travel to and from a work site in order to perform representation activities, unless authorized by the AGO.
