ARTICLE 8
Union Use of Facilities
SECTION 1. Management will provide, for posting of Union material, a bulletin board, or, in the event of space limitations, an alternate space acceptable to both parties. Any materials posted shall be dated and initialed by the Union representative responsible for the posting. 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/inboxes of the employees. This includes direct Union mailings to each facility where mail is initially received and distributed by NOAA. Management is not responsible for insuring the distribution of such written communications.
SECTION 3. Subject to the operating needs of NOAA, Management will permit use of its rooms for the purpose of local Union meetings. Written 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 NOAA, 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 confidentiality 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.
