Time Off for Union Duties. 7.06 a) The Company recognizes that employees will require time off to conduct union business beyond the duties of active representation in Article 7.05. At the request of the Executive of a Member Local or the Council, any member may be permitted time off without pay in order to conduct Union business. The request will be in writing, or a verbal request promptly followed by a written letter; whenever possible this request will be seven (7) days in advance. Requests for time off will not be unreasonably made or withheld. Where there are exceptional circumstances, the Company agrees to waive the seven (7) days notice requirement.

Time Off for Union Duties. 9.08 The Local President of Local X3050, or a member of the Union executive designated to act as the designate of the Local President for these purposes, shall be granted leave with pay for one shift every Wednesday, to conduct union business on site. During the period of leave the President, or their designate, shall be entitled to his/her normal rate of pay and all benefits and other provisions of the collective agreement to which an employee is normally entitled and shall continue to accumulate seniority during his/her leave.

Time Off for Union Duties. In each business unit or location of 201 staff or greater there will be a Union Representative who will be the main point of contact (Main Union Representative) and will be allocated up to 25% of the working week for Union duties. All Representatives who are members of the National Company Committee will be allocated up to 15% of the working week for Union duties. If a member of the National Company Committee is also a Main Union Representative, this 15% is deemed to be included within the overall figure of 25%. Other Union Representatives (Local Union Representatives) will receive up to 10% of the working week for Union duties. Union Learning Representatives (ULR) will receive up to 10% of the working week for ULR duties. If a ULR is also a Local or Main Union Representative, or a member of the National Company Committee, this 10% is deemed to be included within their previous allocation. The Company should expect each Representative, with the exception of ULRs, to spend some of their working week on union facing activities (such as recruitment). This time is deemed to be included within an individual representative’s overall quota. Support Representatives will have reasonable time off requirements but limited to issuing and receiving Union communications, providing feedback and health and safety matters. All Representatives will be eligible for up to 3 half day training/briefing sessions per year. As a general rule this time will be included within the quotas referred to but in the case of Support Representatives this is likely to be in addition to their “reasonable time off requirement”. Union Representatives (including ULRs) must undergo an initial 5 day training course recognised by the TUC. This will be seen as a one off initial investment in the union partnership and as such will be in addition to the “reasonable time off requirement” applicable for their level of representative. If any additional training is required for the future development of an individual union representative, which would take their time off beyond the level allowed, this should be discussed on an individual basis. Commitments connected to mergers or major business re-organisation may be in addition to the above quotas and will be mutually agreed at the time. If, as a result of location, time spent travelling on Company business means that an individual Representative is likely to exceed their normal quota, this may be agreed with the individual’s business manager. If this can...
