6.1 Purpose The District recognizes the need and affirms the right of
CSEA to designate Job Representatives from among employees in the
unit. It is agreed that CSEA in appointing such representatives does
so for the purpose of promoting an effective relationship between
the District and employees by helping to settle problems at the
lowest level of supervision.
6.2 Selection of Job Representatives CSEA shall appoint five (5) Job
Representatives who will represent all employees in the bargaining
unit.
CSEA will notify the District of the names of those persons chosen to
be representatives and any change thereto. Nothing contained in this
article shall limit the right to Job Representatives and chapter
officers (not to exceed two at one time) in assisting another Job
Representative in the processing of a grievance, shall it be requested.
6.3 Duties and Responsibilities of Job Representatives Each job
representative shall represent the employees subject to the
provisions set forth in Appendix F.
6.4 Job Representatives Requirements to District and/or Supervisor
6.4.1 The Job Representative will obtain permission from the
employee's immediate supervisor (if available) to perform
the employee's duties as Representative. The Job
Representative shall inform the immediate supervisor of the
employee's need to leave the employee's work area.
Permission to leave will be granted unless such absence
would cause an unreasonable interruption of work. Upon
entering another work area, the Job Representative shall
inform the supervisor that the employee is there on CSEA
business. The Job Representative will be given permission
to confer with the employee(s) in the new work area unless
it would cause an unreasonable interruption of work. If
permission is denied, the timelines of the grievance process
will be extended by the total number of days permission is
denied.
6.4.2 Each Job Representative shall be granted release time with
full benefits and pay to perform the employee's duties
except as limited above, as outlined in Appendix F.
6.4.3 Job Representative shall be restricted to an average four (4)
released hours per calendar month (not to exceed 48 hours
per year), in which to perform the employee's duties as
outlined. The Job Representative shall use the employee's
own time to perform any duty requirements that exceed the
amount of released time granted in this section.
6.5 Each Job Representative shall be expected to use equal amounts of
released time and personal time for the proper execution of the
employee's duties.
