At any disciplinary hearing, discussion, conference or meeting (including settlement discussions) with the employee who is the subject of the disciplinary hearing. Management shall allow reasonable time for the Union Representative to attend said meeting but in no case less than one (l) hour if there is a representative on duty at the worksite.
