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.
