UNION STEWARDS AND UNION BUSINESS REPRESENTATIVE ACCESS. 1. Duly authorized representatives of the Union shall be permitted at reasonable times to enter the Hospital for purposes of transacting Union business and observing the conditions under which employees are employed; provided, however, that no interference with the work of employees shall result and such right of entry at all times shall be subject to general Hospital rules applicable to non-employees. Moreover, notice will be provided by e-mail or in person to Human Resources prior to contacting any employees during their working hours. 2. The Employer recognizes the right of the Union to designate stewards and acting business agents. The Union agrees that such designated stewards are employees of the Hospital, and, except in cases involving an immediate threat to the health and safety of employees, or representation of employees at disciplinary investigations, or brief discussions to schedule further meeting time, stewards shall conduct such Union business assigned to them during non-working hours and in non-working areas. Employees who are meeting or discussing Union business with Union stewards must also be on non-working time in non-working areas. The Union shall notify the Employer of the names of all Union Stewards. From time to time issues of mutual concern will arise which may require discussions/meetings between a bargaining unit representative and a management representative. Such discussions when practicable shall be held during regular working hours on the Employers premises and without loss of pay to participating employees. Prior to the discussions/meetings, the Bargaining Unit representative needs to receive approval from the manager of the work area(s); however, approval will not be capriciously denied. Except for meetings with management and for direct representational time, such as steps in the grievance procedure, no employee shall engage in Union business during working hours or in work areas. Stewards will conduct investigation activities away from patient and public areas.
