Union Access to Work Locations During Working Hours. Authorized Union representatives, (Union International Representatives, Business Representatives, Union Officers, Shop Stewards, and Site Representatives), pursuant to Article One Section V-B, shall be given access to work locations during working hours to conduct Union grievances, to conduct investigations in connection with Union grievances, and to observe working conditions in connection with Union grievances, so long as it is not unreasonably disruptive of normal working processes. The Union representative(s) desiring access to a work location during working hours shall state the purpose of his/her visit and request authorization of the department head or designee(s) a reasonable amount of time before the intended visit unless the parties mutually agree to waive notice. Reasonable notice shall be defined as 24 hours in advance whenever possible. However, it is not unreasonable to give less notice when the situation merits immediate access. If the request is denied, an alternative to the requested time will be provided. Management may deny access if it feels it will unreasonably interfere with work. The Union agrees that its representatives will not purposely interfere with the operations of departments or any facility thereof or attempt to access work areas or facilities that were not authorized. The Union representative must advise management when he/she has arrived on site.
