5. The Union’s primary point of contact for all matters is the designated PEC Employee Representative, or any other representative appointed by the Union. The PEC Employee Representative or designee will be given reasonable notice of and will be provided reasonable time to be present at formal discussions concerning any grievance, personnel policy or practice, or other general condition of employment.
6. The Agency shall not interfere in internal Union business. Internal Union business shall be conducted during non-duty hours, or while an employee is in a non-duty status.
