Article 5 - Union Representation and Access to Jobs

5.01 Authorized representatives of the Council shall have access to jobs where employees covered by this Agreement are employed and it shall be the responsibility of the Employer to provide the authorized Council representative with such access subject to the approval of the owner or contractor subcontracting to the Employer. The Council recognizes that a large percentage of the workmen on jobs where the Employer is called upon to work are employed by an owning company or by other contractors and the Council agrees that it will not use rights of access provided by this Article in such a way as to jeopardize the Employer's position on such jobs or to interfere with the progress of work on the job.


5.02 Stewards shall be appointed by the Council from among the employees of the Employer who shall be the employees' spokesman and the Employer shall be notified of the appointment. The steward shall be one of the last three (3) employees terminated on the project and shall be one of the first three (3) employees rehired within their classification. The steward on a project shall not be discriminated against and shall receive his fair share of overtime work for which he is qualified. 

Other than qualified employees required to complete the project, the steward shall be one of the last three (3) employees on that project terminated. On projects where there are twenty (20) or more employees, when the employer determines it is necessary to reduce the work force in excess of twenty five percent (25%) by layoff, transfer or termination, the steward shall receive notice of the employees that will leave the job. Such notice shall be at least (2) hours, whenever possible, prior to the end of the final shift.
