ARTICLE 8 - Union Use of Facilities

SECTION 1. Management will provide, for posting of Union material, a secure bulletin board, or, in the event of space limitations, an alternative space acceptable to both parties.  Any material posted shall be dated and initialed by the Union representative responsible for the posting.  NWSEO materials posted on the bulletin board shall not be libelous, scandalous, violate any laws or security regulations.  Management agrees to discuss any objection to posted material with the Union and may request its removal.  The Union will maintain the bulletin board space in neat order and the material posted shall be current.

SECTION 2. The Union may place written communications in the mail/in boxes of the employees.  This includes direct Union mailings to each facility where mail is initially received and distributed by AOC.  Management is not responsible for insuring the distribution of such written communications.

SECTION 3. Subject to the operating needs of AOC, Management will permit use of its rooms for the purpose of local Union meetings.  Requests for use of such rooms shall be made in advance to the designated management official.  The Union agrees to leave such rooms in the condition in which they were found. Employees who attend these meetings must be in a non-duty status.

SECTION 4. Subject to the operating needs of AOC, when a Union representative is performing representational duties under this Agreement, Management shall make best efforts to provide a meeting place that will protect the privacy of any discussions. 

SECTION 5. The Union will be permitted to use at least one drawer in a lockable file cabinet or similar container for storage of Union material.
