COMPANY PROPOSAL:

ARTICLE 28

UNION STEWARDS

1. The Union agrees that neither the Union nor any of its members will intimidate or coerce employees in their right to join a labor organization or to refrain from such activity. [Open]

2. The Union may designate two (2) Stewards, with not more than one Steward on any given shift. The Union will notify the Employer of the names of the Stewards, in writing. A Bargaining Unit employee shall not be permitted to engage in Steward duties until such notification is received. No Bargaining Unit employee with less than one (1) year of Bargaining Unit seniority shall serve as a Steward. No employee shall serve as a Shop Steward while on layoff or while on leave of absence. Stewards shall have responsibility for enforcing the terms and conditions of this Agreement. [Open]

3. Stewards shall not have the right to call any strike, stoppage, or cessation of work, or engage in any other activity in violation of the No Strike/No Lockout Article. The Union is fully responsible for Steward(s) who violates this provision. Any violation of this provision, or the No Strike provision, will result in immediate discharge. [Open]

4. Union business shall not be conducted during working time. Stewards shall not engage in Union activities during working time, nor leave their assigned work location during working time. Any time spent by the Stewards attending to Union matters or acting in a capacity as Steward will not be compensated by the Employer. [Open]

5. Any Steward having an individual grievance in connection with his or her own work may ask another Steward to represent him or her in accordance with the provisions of this Article. [Open]

6. Stewards who enter the facility outside of their regularly scheduled work hours shall, prior to entering, notify the Employer’s Director of Labor Relations or their designated representative in advance of doing the same and receive approval for entering the facility. This entry shall only be for the purpose of a prescheduled meeting with the Employer. [Open]

7. The Union recognizes that the Employer has an obligation to provide a professional, courteous, and safe environment for its employees, patrons and guests. Any discussions by Stewards with employees may not occur during that employee’s working time, and in no case shall such access interfere with work of any employee or with a guest or patron’s activities, or otherwise disrupt the operation of the casino. Stewards will not interrupt or interfere with conversations between a supervisor and an employee unless the employee specifically requests the presence of the Steward for reasons allowed by law. Stewards will not use any type of recording device to record conversations with employees, supervisors, or supervisors and employees, or grievance meetings. [Open]
