Time Off For Trade Union Training. The parties support the statement in paragraph 18 of the ACAS Code of Practice Time Off for Trade Union Duties and Activities (1991) that: “Trade Union Officials are more likely to carry out their duties effectively if they possess skills and knowledge relevant to their duties. In particular, employers should be prepared to consider releasing trade union officials for initial training in basic representational skills as soon as possible after their election or appointment, bearing in mind that suitable courses may be infrequent”. In this respect GES and Unite GPM Sector reaffirm their support for the ACAS Code of Practice in this area. Therefore, it is agreed that it is the duty of employers to ensure that reasonable time off with pay is given to officials to undertake approved Unite GPM Sector and TUC and STUC Training. It is accepted that officials who request paid time off to undergo training should: (a) give at least reasonable notice to management of nominations for training courses; (b) if asked to do so provide a copy of the syllabus or prospectus indicating the contents of the training course. To this end, the Unite GPM Sector agrees to provide GES with advance notification of both dates and syllabuses for Unite GPM Sector and TUC/STUC courses. These clauses shall not disturb existing arrangements in houses which provide better arrangements than those provided for in this Agreement. Any disputes or differences arising from this clause shall be dealt with under the GES/Unite GPM Sector Disputes and Conciliation Procedure.
