Union Grievances 4/8/1 Union officers and grievance representatives who are members of the bargaining unit shall have the right to file and process a grievance when any provision of this Agreement has been violated or when the Employer interpretation of the terms and provisions of this Agreement lead to a controversy with the Union over application of the terms or provisions of this Agreement. Such grievances must be designated as Union grievances at the initial step and must comply with the time limits previously set forth in this Article.
Union (a) The Company, upon receiving four (4) weeks’ notice in writing from the Business Manager or designate of the Local Union, agrees to grant Leave of Absence without pay to not more than three (3) employees for full-time service with the Local Union. (b) The Company, upon receiving two (2) weeks’ notice in writing from the Business Manager or designate of the Local Union, agrees to grant Leave of Absence without pay to Local Union members for the purposes of attending to Local Union business. Such Leaves of Absence shall not exceed three (3) in number of any one time.
Union Grievance The Union may initiate a grievance if the grievance involves a group of employees and if the grievance is submitted in writing within fourteen (14) calendar days from the date the employees were or should have been aware that the grievance existed.
Unions If the contractor relies in whole or in part upon unions as a source of employees, the contractor will use good faith efforts to obtain the cooperation of such unions to increase opportunities for minorities and women. Actions by the contractor, either directly or through a contractor's association acting as agent, will include the procedures set forth below: a. The contractor will use good faith efforts to develop, in cooperation with the unions, joint training programs aimed toward qualifying more minorities and women for membership in the unions and increasing the skills of minorities and women so that they may qualify for higher paying employment. b. The contractor will use good faith efforts to incorporate an EEO clause into each union agreement to the end that such union will be contractually bound to refer applicants without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age or disability. c. The contractor is to obtain information as to the referral practices and policies of the labor union except that to the extent such information is within the exclusive possession of the labor union and such labor union refuses to furnish such information to the contractor, the contractor shall so certify to the contracting agency and shall set forth what efforts have been made to obtain such information. d. In the event the union is unable to provide the contractor with a reasonable flow of referrals within the time limit set forth in the collective bargaining agreement, the contractor will, through independent recruitment efforts, fill the employment vacancies without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age or disability; making full efforts to obtain qualified and/or qualifiable minorities and women. The failure of a union to provide sufficient referrals (even though it is obligated to provide exclusive referrals under the terms of a collective bargaining agreement) does not relieve the contractor from the requirements of this paragraph. In the event the union referral practice prevents the contractor from meeting the obligations pursuant to Executive Order 11246, as amended, and these special provisions, such contractor shall immediately notify the contracting agency.
Union Bargaining Committee A Union Bargaining Committee shall be appointed by the Union and shall consist of up to three (3) members of the Union together with the President of the Union or her designate. The Union shall have the right at any time to have the assistance of members of the staff of the Union when negotiating with the Employer.
Union Dues 2.1.5.1 The Employer shall deduct from the monthly wages or salary of each Employee in the Bargaining Unit, whether or not the Employee is a member of the Union, the amount of the regular monthly dues payable to the Union by a member of the Union, and shall require as a condition of employment that each Employee make and maintain whatever authorization is required for this deduction. 2.1.5.2 The Employer shall deduct from any Employee who is a member of the Union any assessments levied in accordance with the Union Constitution and/or By-Laws owing by the Employee to the Union each month and membership dues or payments in lieu thereof shall be considered as owing in the month for which they are deducted. 2.1.5.3 All deductions shall be remitted to the agent appointed by the Union not later than ten (10) days after the date of deduction. The Employer shall also provide a list of names and classifications of those Employees from whose salaries such deductions have been made together with the amounts deducted from each Employee. 2.1.5.4 Before the Employer is obliged to deduct any amount under Articles 2.1.5.1 and 2.1.5.2, the Union must advise the Employer in writing of the amount of its regular monthly dues. The amount so advised shall continue to be the amount of its regular monthly dues and shall continue to be the amount to be deducted until changed by further written notice to the Employer signed by the President or Executive Director of the Union. Upon receipt of such notice, such changed amount shall be the amount deducted. 2.1.5.5 From the date of signing of this Agreement and for its duration, no Employee organization other than the Union shall be permitted to have membership dues or other monies deducted by the Employer from the pay of the Employees in the Bargaining Unit. 2.1.5.6 The Employer shall supply each Employee, without charge, a receipt for income tax purposes in the amount of the deductions paid to the Union by the Employee in the previous year. Such receipts shall be provided to the Employee prior to March 1 of the succeeding year.
Employer Union Relations No employee or group of employees shall undertake to represent the Union at meetings with the Employer without the proper authorization of the Union. To implement this, the Union shall supply the Employer with the names of its officers and similarly, the Employer shall supply the Union with a list of its supervisory or other personnel with whom the Union may be required to transact business.

Such permission shall not be unreasonably withheld. When resuming his regular duties and responsibilities, such xxxxxxx shall again report to his immediate supervisor. A Union xxxxxxx shall suffer no loss of earnings for time spent in performing the above duties during his regular scheduled working hours.
