A general representative of the Union may be present at any meeting of the Committee. The purpose of the Committee is to deal with complaints or grievances as set out in this Collective Agreement. The Union shall keep the Hospital notified in writing of the names of the members of the Grievance Committee appointed or selected under this Article as well as the effective date of their respective appointments. A Committee member shall suffer no loss of earnings for time spent during their regular scheduled working hours in attending grievance meetings with the Hospital up to, but not including arbitration. The number of employees on the Grievance Committee shall be determined locally.
Calendar Committee A Calendar Committee shall be appointed by the Superintendent to make non-binding recommendations, no later than March of each calendar year, to the Board. The committee shall include the President of the Association, or a bargaining unit designee, and one (1) additional member of the Association. It is understood that said committee shall include appointees of the Superintendent and may also include bargaining unit members from each designated exclusive employee representative which negotiates with the Board in accordance with §§6-408 and/or 6-510 of the Education Article to the Annotated Code of Maryland.
Advisory Committee The Settling State shall designate an Opioid Settlement Remediation Advisory Committee (the “Advisory Committee”) to provide input and recommendations regarding remediation spending from that Settling State’s Abatement Accounts Fund. A Settling State may elect to use an existing advisory committee or similar entity (created outside of a State-Subdivision Agreement or Allocation Statute); provided, however, the Advisory Committee or similar entity shall meet the following requirements: (i) Written guidelines that establish the formation and composition of the Advisory Committee, terms of service for members, contingency for removal or resignation of members, a schedule of meetings, and any other administrative details; (ii) Composition that includes at least an equal number of local representatives as state representatives; (iii) A process for receiving input from Subdivisions and other communities regarding how the opioid crisis is affecting their communities, their abatement needs, and proposals for abatement strategies and responses; and (iv) A process by which Advisory Committee recommendations for expenditures for Opioid Remediation will be made to and considered by the appropriate state agencies.
Scheduling Committee This Committee shall be a function of the Hospital-Association Committee and shall examine scheduling/staffing patterns on units brought to its attention and shall review suggested changes to current schedules or staffing on a unit basis. Where the Committee finds significant change(s) to be proposed, it may require a vote of the nurses on the unit to be held.
Consultative Committee (a) To assist in creating a stable and co-operative environment for the project, a consultative committee has been established which shall operate in accordance with its charter. It is not the objective of parties to this clause that the committee would over-ride the function and responsibilities of management or unions.
