Telephones. a. To ensure that representatives have a reasonable opportunity to communicate with employees, other representatives, and management officials, the Employer agrees that representatives may use existing Activity telephones for authorized representational duties, when such use does not interfere with the Activity’s requirements. This Agreement does not extend to toll facilities except as provided below. Telephone service for the exclusive use of the Local Union will be at Local Union expense to include both installation and rental (except for a class B [on base] telephone), which may be negotiated at the local level. b. It is recognized that representatives may receive calls at their workstation concerning their representation duties. Such representatives are expected to limit such calls to the shortest possible time it takes to respond in order to minimize time away from work. Access to Defense Switch Network (DSN), outside of the Local Union office, for authorized representational duties will be arranged by the Human Resources Officer or designee on a case-by-case basis. c. The Employer shall provide one (1) DSN line to the Council and one (1) DSN line to each officially assigned Local Union office on an installation, at no cost to the Local Union. DSN service is limited to official calls between representatives and management or between representatives.
