RECOGNITION OF THE UNION 1. The BCPSEA recognizes the BCTF as the sole and exclusive bargaining agent for the negotiation and administration of all terms and conditions of employment of all employees within the bargaining unit for which the BCTF is established as the bargaining agent pursuant to PELRA and subject to the provisions of this Collective Agreement.
RECOGNITION OF UNION Clause 2.01 The Employer hereby recognizes the Union as the sole and exclusive collective bargaining agency for all employees of Greater Sudbury Hydro Plus Incorporated in respect of hours of work, wages and working conditions save and except non-union supervisors, persons above the rank of non-union supervisor, and staff employed in a confidential capacity in matters relating to Labour Relations. That the Employer agrees to recognize the duly appointed officials of the employees as the Official Committee(s) of the Union pertaining to the question of wages, hours of work and working conditions. The Union shall have the right to have the assistance of representatives of the Canadian Union of Public Employees when dealing with the Employer, or their duly appointed designates. Persons whose jobs are not in the Bargaining Unit shall not work on any jobs which are included in the Bargaining Unit to the extent that this would eliminate positions. There shall be no Union activity of any kind on the Employer's time other than that provided for in this Agreement or that specifically authorized by the Employer. No person shall be required as a condition of employment to become or remain a member of any Union or other organization. The Employer shall, for direct collective bargaining prior to Conciliation, pay the normal wages and benefits for maximum of three (3) employees who are members of the Union Negotiating Committee for a total of one hundred and twenty (120) hours and thereafter pay fifty percent (50%) of normal wages and full benefits.
Recognition of Stewards The Employer recognizes employees who are designated by the Union as stewards to act on behalf of the employees.
ARTICLE I - RECOGNITION 11 This agreement is applicable for employees as defined in Certificate Number 4 granted by the Public 12 Employees Relations Commission on February 14, 1975, and issued to the Okaloosa County Education 13 Association:
Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes (i) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
(ii) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. As used in this Section 16(e):
Recognition of Union Stewards and Grievance Committee In order to provide an orderly and speedy procedure for the settling of grievances, the Employer acknowledges the rights and duties of the Union Stewards. The Xxxxxxx shall assist any Employee, which the Xxxxxxx represents, in preparing and presenting her grievance in accordance with the grievance procedure.
UNION RECOGNITION The Employer recognizes the Union as the exclusive bargaining agent for all employees for whom the Union has been certified.
PROTECTION OF TEACHERS A. The Board recognizes its responsibility to give reasonable support and assistance to Teachers for the maintenance of control and discipline in the classroom. Each Teacher, however, bears the primary responsibility for maintaining proper control and discipline in the classroom.
B. As permitted by Section 1309 of the Revised School Code, a Teacher may temporarily exclude a student from one (1) class when the nature of the offense, the persistence of the misbehavior, or the disruptive effect of the violation makes the continued presence of the student in the classroom intolerable. In such cases, the Teacher will furnish the Principal with written particulars of the incident as promptly as teaching obligations allow. Upon request of the Principal, the Teacher shall notify the student’s parent of the nature of the offense. If the Principal determines the need for a meeting with the student’s parent, the Teacher shall attend that meeting.
C. The Teachers recognize that all disciplinary actions and methods invoked by them shall be reasonable and just.
D. Any assault or threatened assault upon a Teacher, resulting from his/her position as a Teacher, shall be promptly reported to the Building Principal by the Teacher or representative. The Board shall provide legal counsel, if requested in writing by the Teacher, to advise the Teacher of the Teacher’s rights and obligations as to such assault. The Board will provide reasonable assistance to the Teacher in working with law enforcement and judicial authorities, unless such counsel and assistance are provided through the Association.
E. If a Teacher is complained against or sued as a result of any reasonable action as defined by a court of law and taken by the Teacher while in the scope of his/her employment with the District, the Board shall provide legal counsel and render all reasonable assistance, as appropriate, to the Teacher in his/her defense when requested in writing by the Teacher. This section shall only require the provision of legal counsel and shall not be interpreted to interfere with the Board’s right to exercise supervision and control, including discharge of the Teacher. If a final decision issued by a court or administrative agency indicates the Teacher’s liability for this action, all costs of assistance rendered by the District to the Teacher pursuant to this paragraph and not covered by the District’s insurance carrier, shall be reimbursed by the Teacher.
F. Except for disciplinary suspension or discharge, or for incarceration, any work time lost by a Teacher in connection with an incident identified in Article 9.D, not compensable under Workers’ Compensation, shall not be charged against the Teacher, unless the Teacher is adjudged liable by an agency or court of competent jurisdiction. When Workers’ Compensation is paid, the Board shall pay the difference between that sum and the Teacher’s regular salary, but not to exceed the current year’s contract. No deduction of leave shall be made under these circumstances.
G. In case of an assault by a student(s) on a Teacher acting in the line of duty, or other action taken by or against a Teacher in the line of duty, causing damage to the Teacher’s personal property, including clothing, the Board shall make an equitable financial settlement for such loss with the Teacher involved.
H. Any complaint directed toward a Teacher shall be promptly called to the Teacher’s attention unless otherwise prohibited by law. This requirement shall not prevent the Supervisor from screening out xxxxx gripes.
I. Teachers shall be expected to exercise reasonable care as to the safety of students and property.
Bargaining Agent Recognition The Employer recognizes the B.C. Government and Service Employees' Union as the exclusive bargaining agent for all employees covered by the certification.
Recognition and Rights of Stewards The Employer recognizes the Union's right to select stewards to represent employees. The Employer and the Union will agree on the number of stewards, taking into account both operational and geographic considerations. The Union agrees to provide the Employer with a list of the employees designated as stewards. A xxxxxxx shall make every effort to perform the duties of a xxxxxxx outside of normal working hours. If this is not possible, a xxxxxxx, or her alternate, shall obtain the permission of her immediate supervisor before leaving her work to perform her duties as a xxxxxxx. Leave for this purpose shall be without loss of pay. Such permission shall not be unreasonably withheld. On resuming her normal duties, the xxxxxxx shall notify her supervisor. The duties of stewards shall include:
(a) investigation of complaints of an urgent nature;
(b) investigation of grievances and assisting any employee whom the xxxxxxx represents in presenting a grievance in accordance with the grievance procedure;
(c) supervision of ballot boxes and other related functions during ratification votes;
(d) carrying out duties within the realm of safety responsibilities, these being recognized as complaints of an urgent nature which require immediate attention;
(e) attending meetings called by the Employer.
